Projects created within Centercode capture a wide range of testing, product, and participant details upon creation. These signals influence the messaging behavior of the tester engagement bot ("Ted" by default), inform automated calculations for dashboards, and are available in the Centercode Data Engine for reporting. These settings and details can be updated at any time after the project is created within the **Project settings** tool. #### Table of contents: [Fill in your project details](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/configuring-basic-project-settings#project_details) [Define your product](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/configuring-basic-project-settings#product_details) [Select your audience](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/configuring-basic-project-settings#audience_details)   [![](https://t.gyazo.com/teams/centercode/97bb7fbd869a887d803143b845b67ffc.gif)](https://centercode.gyazo.com/97bb7fbd869a887d803143b845b67ffc) ### **Accessing Project settings** 1. From within your project, click the **Management** menu 2. Click **Project configuration** 3. Select **Project settings** ### Fill in your project details Project details influence various, high-level settings within a project, as well as the engagement bot's behavior, described below.  #### **Program** The Program in which your Project will be created. This list comes from your available Programs, defined by a Community Administrator. #### **Project codename** The visible name for your project. Centercode recommends using codenames for projects as obscuring pre-release product or feature names is a very common and important factor in testing. This codename is visible to selected participants, included in some automated emails, can be referenced by dynamic tags, and more -- "anonymity" is key. #### **Project type** The type of test you’re running, specifically relative to its timeline. We generally recommend time-boxed projects due to the clarity and efficiency of having a clear start and end to your testing timeline. However, continuous tests are also common, especially in iterative software or hardware with persistent or consistent updates (e.g. firmware or drivers). - `Continuous` (project is iterative and will continue indefinitely) - `Time-boxed` (project has a fixed duration with a set end date) #### **Exposure** The availability or exposure of your project to the world. This setting reflects questions like "Do testers have to sign an NDA?" and "Is this product or feature currently a secret?" This setting also influences the engagement bot's messaging and Project messaging (e.g. a privacy / NDA reminder) depending on your selection. - `Open` (testers will be encouraged to share information, invite others) This setting indicates that information is not intended to be kept confidential, and the engagement bot will inform testers that this test can be shared and discussed with others - `Private` (all information is intended to be kept confidential) This setting indicates that information should be kept private and confidential. The system will remind administrators to configure a Non-Disclosure Agreement and will remind testers of their privacy and non-disclosure compliance. #### **Project style** Allows you to pick a color and icon to associate with your project. This icon will be seen next to the project on the Community homepage. #### **Visual theme** If more than one visual theme is available, this selection controls your project's logos and colors. Typically, you'll default to the "\
