Project Navigator

View, edit, pin, and export projects from Project Navigator

Written by Ellen Kajca

Project Navigator makes it easy to view, edit, and access your projects in Hive.

Accessing Project Navigator

From the left sidebar, click Project navigator.

Using Project Navigator

Project Navigator opens a table of projects you can access. Use the search bar to find a project by name.

If a project is missing from where you expect it, check filters, switch tabs (Active vs

My Projects), or scroll — Project Navigator loads more projects as you scroll.

Tabs

  • Active Projects — Active projects you can access (may include more than only projects you are a direct member of, depending on permissions and nesting).

  • My Projects — Focused on projects you are a member of.

  • Archived — Archived projects.

  • Summary Views — Summary views.

  • Templates — Project templates (shown when you have permission to apply templates).

Projects can be nested. Expand a parent project in Project Navigator to see its child projects.

You can show project details at a glance — such as name, members, status, start date, due date, budget, and project custom fields. Use the Columns button to choose which columns appear. Click column headers to sort (most columns are sortable).

To filter by a project custom field, hover the custom field column header and click the Filter icon. Set a value to show matching projects.

When you hover a project row, actions appear on the right. Tip: if you have many custom field columns, scroll horizontally to reach them.

  • Edit — Open project settings.

  • Copy — Opens the copy project wizard to create another project from this one. By default, action dates are kept; you can change copy options in the wizard.

  • Archive — Archives the project. Find it later under the Archived tab.

  • Delete — Deletes the project and its actions. Recoverable from Trash for about 30 days.

Depending on permissions, you may also see options such as Apply (for templates).


Common visibility issues and troubleshooting

  1. Project shows in Project Navigator but not in the left sidebar Projects list — Normal. The sidebar Projects list is a limited/pinned subset. Project Navigator is the full table.

  2. Project exists but is hard to find — Clear or adjust column filters, try search, check Active vs My Projects vs Archived, and scroll to load more rows.

  3. Looking for membership specifically — Use the My Projects tab.

Right-click a project row in Project Navigator for quick actions:

  • Open in a new tab

  • Pin / Unpin

  • Archive

  • Delete

Pinning projects

Pin projects or summary views you use often to the left sidebar for quick access from anywhere in Hive.

Click the pushpin icon to the left of the project name to pin. Click again to unpin.

Sidebar more menu

From the left sidebar Projects list, you can use the project's more menu (⋮) without leaving your current view. Options typically include:

  • Open in a new tab

  • Unpin

  • Archive

  • Delete

Hover the project in the sidebar, then click the three-dot (⋮) icon and choose an option.

Exporting Project Navigator

Export the current Project Navigator view to CSV using the Export button (top right). The export uses your current tab, filters, and visible columns (for example name, members, status, start/due date, budget, and project custom fields).

Use the Columns control next to Export to choose which columns appear (and therefore which fields are included).

To export archived projects, open the Archived tab, then export.

Leaving Project Navigator

Click a project to close Project Navigator and open that project.
