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.

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 configurationNone ( its uses the same schemes from the shared project)


You may use the Xray Project Template. might find it useful to re-use the schemes that you have already configured in another project. If so, use the "Create with shared configuration" option.
