Project Codes

Written By Timothy Murenzi

Overview

Every project has a short code — usually an abbreviation of the project or client, like HARL for Harlow Residence. It identifies the project everywhere in Workroom and appears in document numbers.

Where you'll see it

  • On project cards and in the projects list, as a coloured badge.

  • In the project header and the project switcher.

  • In Tasks, Comms and the Calendar.

  • In document numbers, e.g. EST-HARL-001.

The project switcher showing each project's code

Set the code

  • New projects: enter it in Code on the Basics & contacts step. It's required.

  • Existing projects: All Projects → ⋯ → Edit Project.

Rules

  • Keep it short and memorable — letters and digits.

  • Each project in your studio needs its own code.

Important limitations

  • Changing a code doesn't renumber documents that already exist. They keep the code they were created with.
