Chose your axe Monitor project within the axe Expert extension

The project selection portion of the Settings panel allows you to view the Current Project, make a selection from the Select a project list, and choose SELECT PROJECT to enable the selection.

Select an option in the Select a project drop-down list to switch to your chosen project.

You must be connected to your axe Monitor server before you can select a project on the Settings tab. For more information, see Sign in to axe Monitor.

You cannot upload to or download from axe Monitor without being a member of a project (this applies to issues, scripts, scope definitions, and custom rules).
