  1. Set the access. Decide whether the action list is public (everyone with access to this folder in your organization structure can enter it), or set it to Only for invited and select the individuals who can enter it. If you tick Protect Settings, only the leader, the owner and the document administrators can modify the project settings.

  2. Capture the project goals. Use the Project Metrics tab to capture the project goals. Note: To collect project metrics regularly and keep their history, create a dashboard in the Metric Dashboards module and set it as a Related Document of your action list.

  3. Choose where to display it. Choose the org. unit(s) in the Where to display folder. This determines where the document is saved (it can be in one or more places).

  4. Save the action list. Click Save & View.

  5. Add actions. Start adding main actions with the Add (plus) Action icon, or sub-actions with the green plus button next to a main action.
