Design Projects

You can list the design projects in which you are a member. A design project is a sub type of a project space. This list lets you drill down through design projects and get more information about them and also change information. The list of projects only includes projects you are assigned to as an individual person. Projects that you have access to because you belong to an assigned group or role are not listed but you can access them using Project search.
