With project codes, you can add unique identifiers to your projects that can be used across your organization. Project codes can be used to track job numbers, project numbers, or any other ID you use to identify your projects.

Project code settings

The Account Owner and the Admins can enable project codes for your team in Team settings > Projects > Project codes. 

Team settings > Projects > Project codes. 

Adding a code to a project

Once your team has enabled project codes, you can add a project code to any project in the Info section of the project side panel. Any team member with edit rights for the project can add a project code. Emojis and special characters are supported.

It's also possible to import project codes when importing projects via CSV.

Project codes are unique - you can't use the same code for multiple projects.

Use a different code for each project, or leave the project code field blank if you don't need it.
