Adding a New Project

To add a new project:

  1. You started your application in the previous procedure. Now, enter the following values. Note that the format required for the dates vary depending on your regional settings in the Windows Control Panel.

Value

Enter

Project ID

Proj01

Project Description

Temporary description.

Project Start Date

12/10/2003

Project End Date

01/01/2004

The area on the right of the dialog should look like this after you enter these values:

Adding a New Project

For now, you only enter Temporary description. in the Project Description field because the field extends past the right edge of the dialog, and if you type anything longer, you will not be able to see what you are typing. Since Project Description was defined as an optional attribute, you can leave it blank if you prefer.

After you finish entering data, you modify the panel layout so that you can see more of the description so that it does not run off the right edge.

  1. Click the Apply button. The values are posted to the database, and the grid region on the left of the window shows the new project.

  1. Click the Copy toolbar button to create a new project populated with Proj01’s data. Add the following two projects to the database:

  1. Click the close window button at the upper right corner of the dialog to exit the application.

    Note: None of the panels inherited from the Pattern Libraries have Cancel buttons on them. If you click the close window button, any pending actions are discarded. If you click Apply, those changes are completed before the window closes.
