Project Template

A project template consists of:

Name	Description
Name	A user friendly name of the template (make it descriptive – this is what the creator of the projector will see)
Project Categories	The name of the project categories that the project creator can select to put the newly created project in. If you only select one item - the creator will not get a choice. The choice will only appear if there's two or more. (as of version 1.1)
Workflow	The workflow scheme to associate with the project.
Permissions	The notification scheme to associate with the project (make sure that the Project Lead has access to utilize the project).
Notifications	The notification scheme to associate with the project.
Screens	The screen scheme to associate with the project.
Issue Type	The issue type scheme to associate with the project.
Fields	The field scheme to associate with the project.
Default Assignee	The default assignee
Components	The name of the component scheme (as of version 1.1)
Versions	The name of the version scheme ( as of version 1.1)

Component and Version schemes

You can now create version and component schemes! These are collections of component and version entries that are used when a project is created. Once the project has been created altering the scheme will not affect any projects created from the schemes.
