Folders in Quire Permalink

Folders help you organize and categorize projects within an organization. They’re especially useful when you’re managing many projects and want related work grouped together.

A folder can contain one or multiple projects, with no limit on how many projects you add.

Folders also support Panorama view, which lets you see tasks from all projects in one place.

Tip: Creating folders is optional, but highly recommended when managing multiple projects.
