This article will help guide you on how to edit, delete or archive a project after you have created one in Activ8.
Selecting A Project
First, navigate to the ‘Workflow’ tab. From the drop-down menu, select ‘Project Management’.
If you cannot see the ‘Project Management’ section, it might be because your user role does not have access to this function.
Next, select the project that you would like to use. You will find a list of projects in your ‘Active’, ‘Planning’ or ‘Template’ sections.
