Projects help you organize your work within Back and collaborate with your colleagues on specific topics.
By adding requests to a project you can easily keep track of everything that needs to be done and see what is the progress at a single page.
Creating a project
To get started simply create a new project from the Projects section. This is where you'll later also find all the projects associated to your teams and their status.
Each project has a name, one team responsible for it, and a status (open/closed).
On the top you can also see how many requests are added to the project and how many of those are already resolved.
Adding requests to a project
