How to add team members to a project | InLoox PM 8

By assigning project team members such as members of the project team, project partners, customers etc., you are able to distribute the workload of the project to the co-workers and to inform project members which projects they are assigned to or following up its process. Your employees will know for which parts of the business they are responsible.

By setting up a project team, you define access permissions to the project.

For more information on how to share the permissions or add a user to the list, please see Set up permissions.

1. Open an existing project or create a new one.
   For more information on how to create a project see Create a project.
2. On the Management page, in the Staff area do the following:

• Assign a project manager  Click Manager and then in the Choose Resource dialog box choose an address book from the Address Book drop-down list. Select from the list one or more names for the project.
• Assign a team  Click Team and select from the list one or more internal co-workers.
• Assign a customer  Click Customer and select from the list one or more customer contacts for the project.
