Projects
The top-level register of everything your team is working on.
What is the Projects screen?
Projects is the top-level register of every piece of work your team is running through ETA. Each Project holds its own Modules, Tasks and (optionally) a Release pipeline, and tracks its own status, start date and completion progress.
Why use Projects?
Projects give you a single place to answer “what are we working on, and how far along is it?” without digging through individual tasks. Everything else in ETA — Modules, Tasks, Releases — hangs off a Project.
When would I use this screen?
- Starting a brand-new piece of work
- Checking how many projects are in progress vs. completed
- Finding a project so you can add a Module or a Release to it
- Searching for a project by name
Before you start
You need access to the Projects screen under ETA in the sidebar. Creating a project only requires a Project Name and a Target Date — everything else can be filled in later.
Reading the stats
| Stat | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Projects | Every project on record for your organization. |
| Completed | Projects marked Completed. |
| In Progress | Projects currently marked In Progress. |
| Pending | Projects marked Pending — created but not yet started. |
| Avg. Completion Time | Average number of days between a project's start date and its completion. |
How to add a new project
- Open Projects
Go to ETA → Projects in the sidebar.
- Click Add Project
Click + Add Project at the top of the page.
- Fill in the details
Enter a Project Name and Target Date at minimum. You can also set Status, Priority, and other fields depending on what your organization has enabled.
- Save
Save the project. It will appear on the Projects list and immediately becomes selectable when creating Modules, Tasks and Releases.
The project table
Each row shows the project's ID, Project Name, a small completed/total Module or Task count badge, current Status, Start Date, and row-level Actions (view, quick-edit, or move to trash).
Searching, filtering and sorting
Use the search box to find a project by name (partial matches work, and it's not case-sensitive). Use + Add Filter to filter by Status or Assignee, and click a column header to sort by that column.
Recovering a removed project
Use View Trash at the top of the page to find and restore a project that was moved to trash.
Merging duplicate projects
If two projects were accidentally created for the same piece of work, use Merge at the top of the page to combine them.
