Projects are listed in a table format.
Detailed columns include the project name, creator information, team member listings, and color-coded progress indicators.

Filtering and Sorting:
Users can filter projects by parameters such as project owner, assigned tasks, or integration type.
Sorting options allow viewing projects by criticality, latest activities, or chronological order.
Hide Option:
Specific projects can be hidden temporarily from the view to reduce visual clutter.
Setup Request Reminder:
Consistent Prompt:
Until the dedicated SharePoint site is configured, all users see an identical prompt encouraging them to request the setup.
A clear call-to-action is provided so that a single request per organization is generated.
This interim functionality is designed to provide the full spectrum of project management capabilities, ensuring continuity while awaiting complete integration.
4. Working in the Projects Section When Connected to SharePoint
Once the dedicated SharePoint site is fully configured, the Projects section in Burai becomes deeply integrated with real-time SharePoint data. This integration greatly enriches the user experience by ensuring that all changes in file storage and project data are synchronized automatically.
With an active SharePoint connection, projects are immediately accessible upon login, and any modifications are reflected in real time. Users notice that the need for repeated setup request disappears, and the interface transitions into a fully dynamic platform. The presentation of project cards in grid view is enhanced with real-time progress bars and task status icons. Similarly, in list view, detailed project information is available along with options to quickly manage project actions such as copying links or archiving projects.
The system also provides robust filtering and sorting options. These allow users to tailor the display based on specific requirements, ensuring that vital projects or task lists receive prompt attention. The integration with SharePoint means that all file operations, from creation to deletion, are handled seamlessly in the background, enabling users to focus on project details without worrying about underlying technical processes.
