Organizations, groups & projects

What is the difference?

Caisy allows you to work on multiple projects simultaneously with different groups and organizations, making it easy and efficient to switch between them.

If you are an agency, for example, having all your work for different organizations (clients) located in one central system will save you lots of time and effort.

Within your organizations are your corresponding projects. For a better overview you can group these projects into different groups.

The upper left corner of the interface, directly under the blue Caisy logo, features three buttons with letters (or icon, if you already uploaded one) (1). The upper lateraly offset button shows you the initial letter (or icon, if you already uploaded) of the organization (2) you’re currently working for. By hovering your cursor over the button, you will receive a quick overview of which organization (3), group (4), and project (5) you are busy with at the moment.



Organizations

You want to quickly switch to another organization? No problem! Just click on the first laterally offset icon (1) in the upper left corner and a field will appear that shows you the logo and name of the organization you are currently working at. In the upper right corner of that window, you’ll be able to search for other organizations by clicking the “Switch organization”-button (2). Of course ist also possible to search for organizations if you have a lot of them (3).

Right underneath “Projects” is the option “General settings” (1). This is where you can give your group a more individual touch, by uploading a picture (2), writing a group description (3), and changing the name (4). And this is where you can also quickly delete a group (5), when you don't need it anymore.

Next, you can choose between starting an empty project (1) or saving time and copying an existing project (2) to reuse some of the work you have already done. To copy an existing project, you can search for the project and then select the parts that you want to copy into your new project.
