Project Settings

• Name - The name of the project is displayed in the header and in the list of projects in the Home drop-down on the project navigation bar. It can be up to 100 characters long, using any standard keyboard characters.
• It is suggested that you limit your project name to one or two words for a better display, but this is not required.
• Message - The message will appear at the top of project Home page. Click on the Formatting link to see how to add format changes and links to your message. Make changes when the Write tab is selected and select Preview to make sure that the formatting and links are the way you want them to appear.
• Owner/Contact - The owner/contact person is the project manager whose email address Squish will use as the "from" address in all email regarding the project.
• A project member receiving an email can respond with questions directly to the manager, so choose someone who is intimately involved with the project.

Project Settings

• Theme - Squish features a number of color themes from which to choose. This theme affects the header bar on all pages for the current project. Other projects can choose different themes.
• Enable Wiki - If this is checked, the Wiki link will be available on the project navigation bar and wikis will be available for use.
• Wiki field - The field selected here will determine the choices available for categorizing wiki pages. If unselected, wiki pages will all be uncategorized.
• Require project request justification – If this is checked, users requesting access to the Squish project will need to write a text justification for their request. This text is available when approving userproject member access. Note: a Squish Company may also require justification from new users. If a new user requests access to the company and project together, only one justification is provided.
• Show Milestones - If this is checked, the Milestones link will be available on the project navigation bar.
• Show timeline - When this option is checked a link to the project the project timeline is available.
• Print Format – This determines the formatting for large text fields when printing a Squish issue. Options include:
  • Compact - Fields will be ordered by sort order on the fields page and organized into columns with no margin. This is the default value for this setting. 
  • Prioritize Legibility - Large Text fields will be ordered to the end of the fields section and will extend to the full width of the page. Margins will be added between field columns.
• Attachment Confirmation Message – the message displayed when an attachment is successfully added to an issue comment or description.
• Archive time limit (days) – Determines how long archived issues are saved in the archive before they are automatically deleted (the maximum value is ‘180’). Entering ‘0’ will disable the archive. Archived issues do not count towards issue limits for pricing purposes.

Notification Settings

These settings let Squish know what events you want to trigger an automatic e-mail. When a new issue is submitted, an e-mail can be sent to all members who have the manager role. When an issue is assigned, an e-mail can be sent to the person to whom it was assigned. When an issue is updated, Squish can send e-mail to the person to whom the issue is assigned, and to users who have the issue on their watch lists. In general, it is recommended that you select all of these options, but you may find that some other arrangement works best for your project.
