# How to Create Project Types

**Overview**

Project Types allow you to categorize and organize your projects based on their purpose, scope, or workflow requirements. Examples might include "Internal Projects," "Client Work," "Maintenance," or "Cloud Migration." Defining these types helps you filter views and apply specific reporting structures to your project portfolio.

**1. Navigate to Project Type Settings**

Access the project configuration section from the settings menu.

* From the main menu, go to Settings (1).
* Under the `Project` section (2), click on Project Types (3).
* Click the Add Project Type button (4) in the top right corner.
