## Projects page

On this page you can create a new project, create a project from a backup, and also see the created projects.

In the upper left corner there is a search bar, using which you can find the project by project name, assignee etc.
In the upper right corner there are [sorting][sorting], [quick filters][quick-filters] and filter.

## Filter

> Applying filter disables the [quick filter][quick-filters].

The filter works similarly to the filters for annotation,
you can create rules from [properties](#supported-properties-for-projects-list),
[operators][operators] and values and group rules into [groups][groups].
For more details, see the [filter section][create-filter].
Learn more about [date and time selection][data-and-time].

For clear all filters press `Clear filters`.

All tasks related to the project will inherit a list of labels.

To create a project, go to the projects section by clicking on the `Projects` item in the top menu.
On the projects page, you can see a list of projects, use a search,
or create a new project by clicking on the `+` button and select `Create New Project`.

You can change: the name of the project, the list of labels
(which will be used for tasks created as parts of this project) and a link to the issue.

can click on `Submit & Continue` button for creating several projects in sequence

   [Read more about sorting and filter](/docs/manual/advanced/filter/#sort-and-filter-projects-tasks-and-jobs)
It is possible to choose a subset for tasks in the project. You can use the available options
