# Create a project based on template

Second option is to create a new project based on a template project. This option allows user to use a folder structure and user groups from an existing project. Also, the project settings can be copied from the same template project.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that when creating a project based on a template, user must have admin rights to the template project.
{% endhint %}

Access [web.connect.trimble.com ](https://web.connect.trimble.com)and after successful sign in, choose the template project, from the project view and click the three dots, next to the project name.

Name, server location, project ownership and project license are the mandatory fields. After naming the project, other mandatory fields can be edited (if there are other alternatives available).&#x20;

Description, start and end date are additional options, which are optional.&#x20;

All, expect the server location, can be changed later on in the project settings.&#x20;

Once everything is set up, proceed by clicking **Submit**. Once the project is set up and ready, a email notification will be sent.&#x20;
