From time to time you may have similar projects by the structure. To decrease the planning time and make the process of copying elements from one project to another more comfortable, Module Library has been developed. With its help, you can easily store a set of typical summaries and tasks and use them in many projects.

Overall Overview

You can find Module Library in Pipeline or Quick Edit mode if you have corresponding permission for project view and management.

Module Library Use Limitations

Module Library with its full functionality can be used for the projects of the following types:

• Internal,
• MSP, and
• CSV.

However, there is a limitation of Module Library usage for JIRA projects, since they don’t support a hierarchy of more than 3 levels. As result, a user can only copy items from a project to the Library.
