Each project requires at least one layer to organise all your tickets in PlanRadar. You can create a hierarchy of layers to organise your project into buildings, floors, type of work, and other aspects.
You can create, delete, rename and rearrange layers in both, webapp and mobile apps. In the webapp you can also sort them alphabetically as a one-time operation.
