Create project from a template

Create project from template menu option is available only if an administrator grants you the required permissions.

As a user, you can easily create new projects with templates configured by your administrators through the Delegated Project Creator for Jira.

To create a project from a template:

  1. From the top menu, navigate to Apps > Create project from template

     

  2. On the Create new project from template page, you'll see a list of templates configured by an administrator. Click Create project next to the template you want to use.

  3. Enter the details in the project request form as follows:

    • Project Name: Give your project a meaningful name.

    • Project Key: If necessary, change the automatically generated project key.

    • Project Description: Write a short description of your project.

    • Project Avatar: Click on the image and choose a project avatar from the list.

    • Project Owner: Start typing a name and choose a project owner from the auto-suggestions that appear.

    • Copy settings from this project: Choose a project from the dropdown list to copy its settings.
      This option may not be available for all templates. You will see it only if the base project(s) field is configured for the template.

    • Project Categories: Select a category for the project from the available list of options.

      This option may not be available for all templates. You will see it only if the Project Categories field is configured for the template.

  4. Click Create to make a new project with the provided details.

  5. A successful message is displayed when the new project is created. The template remains expanded with the following options available:

    • Create another project: Create a new project with the same settings.

    • Cancel: Close the current template window and return to the full list.

    • Browse: Navigate to your newly created project.

    • Administer: Navigate to the settings of your newly created project and change them if necessary.
