==='''Using project templates'''===

When creating a project with the add-on, you can use a [[Project templates|project template]]. To do it, click on the "Template" field and select the project template from the drop-down list:

[[File:Selecting project template1.png|border|300px]]

::<span style="color:red">'''Note:'''</span> Please do not use the templates with ''jobs with language pairs''. The add-on data will be ignored.

By default, the system uses the template values, but the corresponding add-on values will override it. For example:

1. If you define one or more language pairs and select a template with predefined language pairs, then the add-on will override values from the template. It also applies to "Client", "Contact person", and "Secondary manager" fields.

2. If the language pairs aren't defined when creating the project with the add-on, then the ones from the selected template will be applied.

=='''Create new client'''==

If you receive an email message from someone who is not on your Protemos client list, the add-on will suggest you create a new client profile or contact person first:
