Project Main

The "Main" tab of the Project Configuration page is where many of the project options are configured. This article explains the various options available on this page.

The first time a project is started, this screen defaults to the Quick Start form.  Selecting Show All Settings Instead will display the full list of settings.

Any time a user returns to the "Main" tab of the Project Configuration page on an existing project, the full list of settings will appear.
