To edit the project properties, choose
ProjectEdit Project Properties
.  In this dialog box you can edit the name of the project,
its start date, the name of the project manager, the organization
the project belongs to, the project phase, and the default calendar.
The General Tab
Its important to note that the default start
date for all tasks is the project start date.  Therefore, you should
set the project start date before entering many tasks.  In the event
that you do change the project start date after tasks have been entered,
they will default to the new start date, unless they're associated with
a constraint, such as a predecessor task or "start no earlier than"
constraint.
This dialog also allows the user to assign a phase to the project.
Phases can be added by choosing
ProjectEdit Project Phases
, which provides a dialog with a simple list of project phases and buttons
to Add and Remove them.
Assigning a phase to the project is for information purposes only.  It has
no other function at this time.
Each project has a default calendar.  The default calendar applies to
every resource on the project unless otherwise specified in the resource
editor.  Use the select button on this dialog to change the project default
calendar.  See the section  for more
information on calendars.
The Custom properties TabYou can add custom properties to the project by clicking the add
button.
In the Custom properties add dialog, you can give your new property a label, a name,
description, and set the property type to either text, integer number, or floating point
number.  Once you have added your new property, you can set its value by clicking in the
value field of the Custom project properties dialog.
