You can add a new project from the home screen in your Gather account. There are two ways to get started: Quick Start for speed, or Manual Set Up for full control over project details, areas, and financials.
Step 1: Click the green + button in the top-right corner of the app.
You'll see two options:
Option 1: Quick Start
Quick Start is the fastest way to create a project. Simply type your project name and click CREATE PROJECT. Your global settings (currency, tax, markup, etc.) will be applied automatically — you can always update them later.
Option 2: Manual Set Up
Manual Set Up walks you through a three-step wizard so you can configure everything upfront. Click the BEGIN button to get started.
Step 1 of 3: Project Details
Enter your project's basic information and site address:
Project Name (required)
Project Number
Client Contact — select from your existing contacts
Start Date and Estimated Completion Date
Date Format — choose your preferred format (MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, etc.)
Site Address — street, city, state, zip, and country
Once you've filled in at least the project name, click NEXT to continue.
Step 2 of 3: Define Areas
Add the areas (rooms or locations) for your project. As you type each area name, Gather automatically generates a short area code — you can edit this if you'd like.
Press Enter or click ADD ANOTHER to keep adding areas. Don't worry about getting every area right now — you can always add or edit areas later.
Click NEXT to continue.
Step 3 of 3: Budget & Financials
Review and adjust the financial settings for this project:
Currency — defaults to your account's currency setting
Client Budget
Sales Tax %
Markup %
These fields are pre-filled from your account's global settings (found in Settings), but you can override them for any individual project.
Click CREATE PROJECT to finish. Your new project — complete with areas and financial settings — is ready to go!
