Guided Project Creation & AI Task Generation Projects New

A brand new multi-step project creation wizard makes it easier than ever for admins to set up projects with the right structure, team, and tasks. The guided onboarding flow supports associating grants, defining project details, assigning roles, and customizing task generation—all with AI-powered suggestions.

• Step-by-step onboarding: Link grants, enter project details, assign team members with roles (PI, Co-PI, Admin, Contributor), and configure task generation in a clear, progressive flow
• AI-powered task generation: Automatically create project tasks based on category, with configurable detail level and assignment to specific roles or users
• Draft projects & resume later: Start a project, save it as a draft, and finish onboarding when you’re ready—drafts are private until published
• Flexible team management: Assign roles to team members and fine-tune who is responsible for each type of task
• Review before launch: Preview all project settings and task assignments before finalizing

This new workflow saves time and ensures every project is set up for success from the start.

University-Level Task & File Templates Projects New

Admins can now create and manage institution- or group-level templates for both tasks and files, streamlining project setup across your organization. These templates are automatically copied into new projects, ensuring compliance and consistency with university or group requirements.

• Reusable task templates: Define tasks (with subtasks, labels, status, and deadline offsets) at the group or university level; these are auto-included in every new project
• File templates: Upload files or link URLs as group-level resources, optionally attached to specific tasks, and have them copied into new projects
• Easy management: Create, edit, or delete templates from the Projects Settings area; see group activity logs and control template visibility
• Flexible toggles: Enable or disable institution-level tasks per group as needed

These enhancements help administrators enforce best practices and reduce repetitive setup work for new projects.

Projects Board Multi-View & UX Overhaul Projects

The Projects Board has been completely reimagined to help you manage your research projects more flexibly and efficiently. With new views and powerful filtering, it’s easier than ever to track progress, organize tasks, and collaborate with your team.

• Multiple views: Instantly switch between board, list, and a new Gantt-style timeline view to visualize your projects the way you work best
• Advanced filtering & search: Filter projects by assignee, department, funder, or tags, and use the new search bar to quickly find what you need
• Drag-and-drop everywhere: Move tasks and projects between columns or along the timeline with smooth, intuitive drag-and-drop
• Project editing & status control: Edit projects directly from the board, adjust statuses, and manage columns with simple dialogs
• Personalized experience: Your preferred board view is now saved to your profile and remembered on every visit
• Visual polish: Enjoy a refreshed, modern interface with improved loading states and clearer layouts

This update makes project management in Atom more visual, customizable, and user-friendly.
