Adding and Editing Projects

A Project can be added from the URL Project listing.

A Project may be marked as containing Standard Libraries. This option allows the Drafts in this Project to appear in the selection for a Draft as a Standard Library for that Draft. If this option is not set then the Drafts within this Project are not displayed as choices for a Drafts Standard Libary.

Projects have a default setting of 'View All' enabled, which means that all users who have access to that URL will be able to view, but not edit, that Project. If 'View All' is disabled then only users who have been added to the Project Team will be allowed to see that Project.

Assigning a Role when Creating a Project

When creating a Project you can optionally assign a user to a Project Role directly from the Add Project page. This is a fast way to start work in a new Project: assign yourself a Role with the permissions you need and you can begin immediately.

Assigning a user when creating the Project is optional. If no user is assigned, the Project can still be administered by URL Managers and System Administrators, and Roles can be assigned later from the Project Team page, where additional users can also be added.

Users with 'Manager' rights on the URL may view all Projects but do not automatically have permissions to modify Project data.

Notifying an Assigned User by Email

The URL setting Email a user when they are assigned a Role on project creation controls whether the assigned user is notified by email. When this setting is enabled and you assign another user a Role while creating a Project, that user receives an email naming the Role they were granted and linking to the new Project. This lets them begin work — such as adding further team members — straight away.

The email is only sent when the assigned user is someone other than the person creating the Project; assigning a Role to yourself does not send an email. The setting is off by default and can be enabled per URL on the URL edit page. Organizations may set a default for new URLs.

Automated Test Configuration

A Project has configurations for Automated Tests and the Test Advisors, see Project Test Configuration. If Automated Testing is not being used these settings can be ignored.
