New Project Wizard
Redirect to:
The New Project Wizard guides a user through the creation of a new Project. It allows for the setting of a Project's most important Project Metadata, as well as the geographical properties of a Project and which Project Sources to base it on.
Project properties
Creating a new Project begins with setting the general information of the Project. The following information must be provided:
- The name of the Project
- The currency of the Project
- The unit system of the Project
- The language of the Project
- The Project Type
After setting these details, progressing through the New Project Wizard starts a Session for the new Project, in which all additional configuration is effected.
Using a Project Template
After setting a name for the Project, rather than create a new Project from scratch, it is possible to base the new Project on an existing Project Template. Any Project which is marked as a Project Template, and which can be accessed in the Editor by a user, can also be used as a Template.
Using a Project Template allows for the selection of a language, but only a language which is also available for the Project Template itself. Other properties, such as the currency, unit system, and Project Type, cannot be changed.
After selecting a Project Template to use, progressing through the New Project Wizard starts a Session of the selected Project Template, and then saves a copy under the provided name for the new Project. The copy is cleared of all geographical data. The running Session is then used to effect additional configurations.
