Creating Project Folders

Project folders are not real projects, they only exist to group different projects. You may create any number of project folders and add them to any level on project hierarchy. Different than real projects they are shown with a folder icon and you can't create issues for virtual projects. 

To create a project folder, just write the name of the virtual project on the dialog and press the save button. This will create the project folder. From this list you can drag & drop a project folder to project hierarchy on the right hand side of the screen. You can nest project folders under other project folders or real JIRA projects to create subproject hierarchy.
