# Using the Project Dashboard

If you have a single server with a few domains to manage, you can probably access all your resources from the main section of your Liquid Web account portal in [portal.nexcess.com](https://portal.nexcess.com/). However, what if you have a dozen servers, hundreds of domains, and many other related services that you need to manage? How can you keep track of which servers are attached to which load balancers, or where all of the domains for one of your clients are located?

The Projects Dashboard allows you to group any assets in your account together into a single project dashboard, making it easy to organize and find any related servers and services.

## Creating a New Project

1. Login to your [Liquid Web account.](https://portal.nexcess.com/)
2. Click on **Projects** at the left of the screen.

| ### NOTE: |

| Assets can only be associated with one project at time. If you attempt to add an asset that is already associated with a different project, you will be asked to transfer that asset to the new project. |

5. You can edit your project name or delete the project by clicking on the three dots to the right of the project name.
