A project is the top-level container in Orbit. Every issue, saved filter, and activity log entry belongs to exactly one project.

​
Fields

  • Name — the project’s display name
  • Slug — a URL-friendly identifier generated automatically from the name when the project is created
  • Description — optional free text
  • Color — one of ten fixed colors (red, orange, yellow, green, lime, blue, sky, violet, purple, pink), used to visually distinguish projects in lists and the sidebar
The slug is generated once, from the name, at creation time. Renaming a project later does not regenerate its slug.

​
Table columns

Each project has its own configurable set of visible columns for its issue List view. You can show or hide: ID, title, status, assignee, priority, labels, updated date, start date, and end date. This preference is stored per project, so two projects can show different columns.

​
What belongs to a project

  • Issues — every issue is created inside a specific project
  • Saved filters — reusable filter combinations, scoped to the project they were created in
  • Activity log — every mutation within the project is recorded internally, though it isn’t surfaced in the UI today

​
Creating a project

Any authenticated user can create a project. The first project in a brand-new Orbit workspace is created as part of the guided onboarding flow shown to the first (admin) account.
