As an account Administrator, you can create, edit and delete Projects; and you can create and edit Project Groups.

If you need to create a project or project group and you are not an Administrator on your account, you will need to request your account Administrator undertake this for you.

To create, edit or delete a Project Group:

* You must be an account Administrator to do this:

To Create / Add a Project Group

Navigate to your Project drop down menu in the top left of your Simply Stakeholders account. Then scroll to the bottom of the Project menu and click + Create Project Group

You will then need to name your Project Group and then click the Create button:

To Edit a Project Group

Navigate to your Project drop down menu in the top left of your Simply Stakeholders account. Then hover over the Project Group you wish to edit and click on the Pen icon to edit the name:
