Collaboration projects provide online workspaces for members working together on a project. The features of a project are designed to facilitate teamwork and include such items as a calendar, task lists, documents, discussions, announcements, and search. Collaboration can have many projects; project information can be accessed from any community page where some or all Collaboration portlets reside.
Note: Task status data is neither copied over into projects that are created from project templates, nor into project templates that are created from projects.
To create a project:
