Create a new project when you have identified work to be done that has its own
distinct character, dependencies or schedule.
What constitutes a project depends on your organization. Some organizations favor a
small number of big, centralized projects. Others prefer a larger number of smaller,
specialized projects. Your site administrator can help you decide if your work should be
part of a larger project or a project of its own.
-
On your TeamForge site's main page,
select Create New Project from the
Projects dropdown list.
-
On the Create Project page, give the project a name and a
brief description.
- The name will appear in project lists and on the project's home
page.
- A terse description is recommended. There will be unlimited room to
discuss the project's aims and methods in detail on the project pages
themselves.
-
Provide a URL name for the project, if you want the URL for the project to be
different from the internal project name.
If you do not enter a URL name, the project URL will be the same as the
project name.
-
If your site administrator has provided project templates, select the
appropriate one for your new project.
Project templates give you ready-made artifact types, workflow support, user
roles and other start-up content appropriate to the kind of project you are
creating.
Tip: The "Default Project Access" and "Project Access Editable"
options are displayed based on the project settings. If you would like to
change these settings, ask your site administrator.
-
Click Create.
The project is submitted to the CollabNet
TeamForge site administrator for approval. You
will receive an email notification when the site administrator approves or rejects your
project. When your project is approved, you can get to it from your My
Projects page or from the Projects menu in your
navigation bar.
