# Project type form

Learn about the fields on the Project type form of the Project Workspace. Use this form to create a project type for your projects and choose which modules the project type shows.

## Access the project type form

The project type form is separate from the project form. Use it to define your own project type, choose which modules the project shows in Project Workspace, and choose the form view to apply. To open the form, navigate to **All** > **Project Administration** > **Project types** and select **New**. You can also open the Project Type \[project\_type\] table directly.

After you create a project type, select it in the **Project type** field when you create a project. The project opens in Project Workspace with only the modules selected for that type. For more information, see [Project form in Project Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/project-workspace/project-form-pw.md).
