Projects in Gridly TMS are the highest-level organizational units that serve as containers for all your translation work. They provide a centralized place to store and manage Jobs and Categories while allowing you to assign shared materials such as reference files, glossaries, non-translatable lists, and Translation Memory (TM).

Each project defines default localization and QA settings, which are automatically inherited by its Categories (unless customized at the Category level). Projects also represent the first level of access control in Gridly TMS.
