To create a project with a project template you need to first create a project.
To create a project with a project template:
On the Projects tab > + New Project and fill in all necessary information in the form.
Open the project and in the project pane, select the Use project template button.
3. In the Use project template dialog box, select a template in the Select template dropdown list.
Tip: Deselect any activities in the template that you won’t need for the particular project. This won’t affect the initial content of the template, just this project.
4. After you load the project template, you're ready to start working on your project.
See, Managing projects.
If the project template doesn’t have dependencies, labels, Durations, and target deadlines you can add them manually or work without them.
