To configure a project:

• Click on the Projects tab
• A list of current projects will be displayed
• Click on the project name to view the project details (as shown)

• Click on the Edit button next to the project name to edit its details

To view a projects details click on the projects name. From this page you can edit a project details by clicking the Edit button 

From the Projects tab:

• Click on the New link
• You will be able to enter the projects name and description
• Click on Save to add the project
• Note: To add versions, milestones and project members you will need to edit the project after it has been created

Project deletion should only be done if a project has been accidentally added as the process of deletion cannot be undone and will cause any issues assigned to the project to become unlinked to a project. Any clients with that software will also be unlinked. If you are renaming a project it is safer to simply change a projects name. If you need to delete a project:

• Click on the link for the project
• Click on the Edit link
• Click on the Delete link
• Confirm your deletion

Users can be assigned to projects such as developers, testers and managers. If you are a member of a project you may receive email notifications when issues in that Project change. To do this:

• Click on the project from the Projects tab
• Click on the Edit button
• To change the list of project members click the Change Project Members button
• The following page will appear:

Milestones are typically target of certain goals that need to be completed by a certain time. For example a beta release of software or prototype release. These milestones may not actually coincide with version numbers of the software.

A project milestone can be added by:

• Click on the project from the Projects tab
• Click the Edit button
• Click on Add Milestone button next to project milestones (as shown below)

• Enter the description and due date of the milestone
• Click on the Save link to apply the changes

Note: Milestones can be edited by clicking the name of the milestone on the "Project Edit" page 

A project module is a section or category of your project. For example a email project may have modules for sending, receiving, archiving etc. You can define these modules in Dev Hound by:

• Click on the Projects tab
• Choose a project and click the Edit button
• Click on the Add Module button next to modules (as shown)

• Enter the module name and click Save

You can use modules to filter a project into different areas people will be working on. This could also be used on large projects when you have teams of programmers working on different sections of a project such as the reports vs app team. 

Project versions are very important in issue tracking. They provide a means of keeping track of issues scheduled for future release, form part of release notes and knowledge base articles and provide a means of providing better technical support to clients.

To manage project versions:

• From the Projects tab click on the project and click the Edit button
• To add a project version click on the Add Version link near Versions as below:

The process of an issue changing status during its time in Dev Hound is known as Workflow. For example a company might want to prevent an issue being moved from open to closed without first being tested. You can customize the workflow by adding/modifying the status lookup list and by modifying workflow.

The Status Lookup List

• Click on the Admin tab
• Under Lookup Tables click on the Status link
• Add and modify the status items as required
• Remember: if you delete any status items the issues using that status item will be unlinked

Workflow is defined as a list of single rules. Each rule follows: Status X can be modified to Status Y. Eg an issue can go from open to busy. If you try to modify the status of an issue that doesnt have a rule in the workflow an error message will appear.

Before modifying the workflow it is a good idea to draw a diagram of how you perceive the workflow. Then you can translate the diagram into rules. For example:  
In the diagram there are 7 rules:

• Open -> Busy
• Open -> To Be Tested
• Busy -> Open
• Busy -> To Be Tested
• To Be Tested -> Open
• To Be Tested -> Closed
• Closed -> Open

To Add a Rule

• Click on the Admin tab
• Under Projects choose Workflow
• Add and modify the workflow as required
