We already knew how to create a project and also the basic setting of the project now let’s see all the components or basic terms in the Project

Go to project setting as explained in the previous post. We will directly jump into the basic terms

In the details view, we can see the project name (It’s the same name that we used while creating a project and we can also rename it if needed)
project key will be displayed just below the project name and the key should be always unique.
It will be displayed the initial project key in every issue which we are going to create.
For example, in our case, it will be DP12-1,2,3 here DP12 is the project key and 1,2,3 will be the issue key
you can also provide your project URL in the URL section like “https://abcxyz.com
you can also provide project category as per your business need.
Project category is used if you have multiple projects which are belonging the same category then you can specify the category as per your requirement.

Just click on upload new Avtar and select from your local machine and your Avtar will be uploaded.
We can also specify project leader and assignee.
