How can I add a new Project Type, e.g., Hardware?

[Tank Monitoring SkyBitz]

I created a Project wherein the only choices in the 'Project Type' menu are 'Software' and 'Business'. I would like to add 'Hardware'. How can I do this?

Hello,

You can not add your own type out of the box.

Moreover, "Hardware" would not make sense as a project type. I can see where you might conclude that. because there is a Software type but think of Software as "Development". I would use Software for your Hardware activities.

How do I "add my own type out of the box"?

I just noticed that you said "I cannot add my own type out of the box".

Notwithstanding, there has to be a way.

If you are on Server, you can have a look at this tutorial on how to add your own project template, writing your own plugin:
