Enable components in project

[Darryl Moore]

The previous project manager has left, and I am trying to implement components in an existing project. As you can see below in the "Project Settings" snapshots of two projects we have, one has a components item to configure, the other does not. I have spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out how to enable components but have had no luck. Can anybody here offer any advice. It would be very much appreaciated.

Thanks,

Hello @Darryl Moore 

Welcome to the community.

I have a couple of questions.

Looking at the bottom of that navigation pane in your image, does it say the project is Team Managed or Company Managed?

Looking at the top if the navigation pane, below the project name does it say "Software", "Service", or nothing?

I suspect you are trying to add Components to a Team Managed project. Team Managed projects don't support the Components feature yet.

Yes, thanks. I think you are correct. Can I easily change from team to company?

The project itself can't be changed from Team Managed to Company Managed.

You would need to create a new Company Managed project and move the issues from the Team Managed project to the Company Managed project. This can be problematic if you have Custom Fields in you Team Managed project. For more information refer to this document.
