# How do I create a Crew?

## The crew consists of a group of workers who perform one or more scopes of work and are organized into groups that can then be assigned to a Manager for timesheet review. This article will show you how to create a new crew within a project.

**Things to consider before setting up a crew:**

- Crews are created per project and do not interact with other projects in the system.
- Workers can only be assigned to one crew per project at a time.
- After creating a crew, you can designate users as crew managers and workers as crew members.

#### Steps to Create a Crew:

Step 1. Select project \> Go to the right-side menu bar \> Click on “**Crews**”

Step 2. Click “**Create**”

Step 3. In the dialog box, type a name for the New Crew \> Click "Create.”

Step 4. Scroll down to the sections Manager, Workers, and Cost Codes to add and assign crew members in each category.

Assigning a user as a crew manager will reduce their list of workers on that project timesheet to only the workers assigned to them. A user can be a manager of multiple crews.

Step 5. Return to the project page to view the new created crew.
