Select Template
When creating a project you have different templates available that will bring you different schemes ( issues, screens & workflows) and that can have different features.
You either select a JIRA template, like the SCRUM Software Template or the Project Management template or you can select an XRAY Test Project Template.
Select the desired template, and click next to follow the wizard.

Tip
When creating a new project you can either created based on a template or you can create with the shared configuration.
The main difference is that when you create based on a template you will create new schemes.
Schemes Created
Based on a template
Workflow scheme
Issue type scheme
Issue type screen scheme
Based on a shared configuration
None ( its uses the same schemes from the shared project)
You might find it useful to re-use the schemes that you have already configured at another project. If so, use the "Create with shared configuration" option.

Depending on the template you have chosen you may need to perform specific configurations to make the project totally enabled for Xray:
Need to Enable Xray Requirement Coverage?
Need to add Xray Issue Types?
JIRA Software
SCRUM software development
Kanban software development
Basic software development
JIRA Service Desk
Basic
IT Service Des
Customer Service
JIRA CORE
Project Management

Process Management
XRAY
XRAY Test Template
Tip
The Xray Project template uses Default Scheme and adds the Xray Issue Types.
If you use the Xray Project Template, you may need to update the project type to "Software" in order to get software projects features, like backlog, sprints and others.
Check next step to know how to perform these configurations.
UI Step
Enable Xray in your projects
In the project Administration page, go to Actions at the top right-hand side. You must:
a) set your project as a Requirements project by choosing "Enable Xray Requirement Coverage", so the requirements are covered by tests;
and
b) If you didn't use a template that already has Xray issue types (i.e., Test, Test Set, Test Execution, Test Plan) you need to add them to the project.

Please note
To "Add Xray Issue Types" you must belong to a group allowed to do so in Xray settings. This permission is set "Jira Administration > Manage Apps > Miscellaneous > Users Groups allowed to add Xray Issue Types".
Info
This module details you the minimum configuration that needs to be done to create a new project with XRAY enabled. Go to Basic & Advanced Setup to explore other configuration possibilities.
