Administering Projects and Lifecycles › Create a Project

Create a Project

The Project Properties dialog lets you create a project.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Lifecycles tab of the Administrator application.
2. Right-click Active Projects, Inactive Projects or Lifecycle Templates, and select New Project from the shortcut menu.

   The Project Properties dialog appears.

3. Define the properties of the project.

   Name

   Names the project.

   Active

   Specifies whether the project is active and usable. For a new project, this option is enabled by default. The new project shows in the Active Projects folder.

   Inactive

   Specifies whether the project is inactive. The new project shows in the Inactive Projects folder.

   Create User Group

   Creates a user group with the same name as the project and assigns “use”access for the project. If such a user group exists, project creation succeeds by assigning “Use”access to the existing user group and the output log shows a warning message that says that the group exists. This option is disabled for update or delete project operations.

4. Click Apply.

   Saves the project definition, but does not close the dialog.

5. Click the Access tab and set access for the project. Click OK.

   The project is created and appears in the Lifecycles tab.
