Before You Start

Before creating a Project, search OneCrew to confirm that the correct Account, Contact, and Site already exist.

Always check for existing records before creating a new Account, Contact, or Site. The goal is to avoid duplicate records in OneCrew.

Open the New Project Page

  • Click New Project from the right side of the Projects area.

Select the Contact, Account, and Site

Use existing records whenever possible. Only create a new Account, Contact, or Site after confirming that the correct record does not already exist.

  • Select whether the work is self-performed or subcontracted under Relation Type.
  • Add the appropriate team members under Salesperson, Project Manager, and Other Assignees.
  • Complete any applicable options, including Intercompany Job, Schedule Date, Budget Job, and Tax Exempt.

Create the Project

Review the information you entered, then click Create.

OneCrew will open the newly created Project page.
