Functionalities to manage projects are mainly grouped in Projects menu. From there it is possible to access or create projects.

The following table summarizes the mandatory information for specific operational statuses (Op. Status) and administrative statuses (Adm. Status).
| Operational status | Mandatory information |
|---|---|
| "Provisory" | All the fields marked with a red asterisk in General. |
| "Active" | This status requires the same mandatory information of the "Provisory" status. Additionally it requires at least one resource to be added to the project (in Resources). |
