¶ Projects
You can create new Cerebro projects (the uppermost-level tasks) and edit existing ones using the Projects tab.
The left side of the tab displays a list of projects in the universe. Using the filter button, you can show/hide projects that were deleted from the list (marked as archived).
You can create a project using the button above the list of projects, which will open the Wizard (see the instructions for creating a project)
To delete a project or its files, you need to:
- Enable the Allow to delete projects checkbox on the Universe tab
- Go to the Projects tab, select the desired project and archive it. To do this, right-click and select the Archive/Restore project option or the Archive button above the list
- Disable the filter above the list of all projects so that archived ones become visible
- Select a project in the list and click the Delete entire project/Delete project files button on the right side of the window.
On the right side of the window is a set of tabs that contain the attributes of the selected project.

¶ File storages
On the tab, you can specify which of the file servers in the Cerebro system will be used to store task attachments within the project.

¶ Tags

This tab allows you to configure notifications for the project. The project notification settings have a higher priority than the global notification settings for the universe.
¶ Activity-based event subscription
Activity-based event subscription tab is used to subscribe a user to all tasks related to specific activity. For example, you can use it to subscribe an employee responsible for texturing to all tasks related to the ‘texturing’ activity.
To subscribe user to an activity, you should tick the appropriate activity column in the corresponding user row.
