Create a New Phase or Task from a Project Template

You can create a new phase or task from a project template. You can add a new phase or task to a project at any time.

If Vision detects possible duplicate records during this procedure, the Potential Duplicate Records Found dialog box displays. This dialog box lists any existing record that already has the identifier that you are trying to use for a new record.
