Project Administration. List of active, archived, deleted and exported projects.

This GroupCamp article explains how to use the Projects application to list and manage projects. Depending on their privileges, users can access MY PROJECTS, ACTIVE PROJECTS  and ALL PROJECTS: active, archived or deleted projects (Trash) and exported projects.

With GroupCamp the project is the secure working group that contains applications and data accessible to its members.
