Creating and Opening Projects

In order to work on a model, a project must be created for it. A project contains all of a model's artifacts. This organizational principle makes it possible to work on multiple independent models, each addressing its own domain or problem, without worrying about their artifacts intertwining or overlapping one another.

Creating New Projects

New projects can be created on the Authoring main page after logging in to the application.

To create a new project:

1. On the main page, click + New Project. The New Project dialog opens.
2. In the Name field, enter a name for the project.
3. In the Description field, enter an optional description for the project.
4. Click Create to create the project, or Cancel to discard it.

Opening Existing Projects

Existing projects are shown in the Projects table on the Authoring main page. Projects can be opened from the table after logging in to the application.

To open an existing project:

1. On the main page, in the Projects table, locate the project to open. For more information, see Navigating Available Projects.
2. Hover the cursor over the project's row. Options for the project appear on the right.
3. Click Open.

Note

If no projects have been made yet, the list of projects contains only a + New Project button. For usage instructions, see Creating New Projects.

Checking Project Deployments

The Running Deployments column of the Projects table shows how many deployments each project has, and whether any of them are running.

Clicking the chip in the Running Deployments column opens the Deployment Management utility. For more information about working with the utility, see Deploying Models.

Navigating Available Projects

The list of projects in the Projects table can be sorted, filtered, and navigated through for greater convenience.

Navigating the Project List

If the number of available projects exceeds what can be shown on screen in the Projects table, the additional projects are stored on a new page of the table. The total number of projects, the projects shown on the current page, and the total number of pages are shown on the bottom of the screen.

To navigate through the list of projects:

1. Click the > button to advance to the next page.
2. Click the < button to go back one page.
3. Click the >| button to advance to the last page.
4. Click the |< button to go back to the first page.

Sorting Projects

To sort the project list by column:

1. Click the name of the column to sort by. Click the column name a second time to sort in the reverse order.
2. Click the Columns dropdown menu to configure the available columns. Uncheck a box to hide the corresponding column.
3. Click the Pin icon to lock a column in place, if necessary.

Note

Sort, pin, and hide controls are also accessible by clicking the corresponding column's More menu (⋮). Hover the cursor over the column name to make the icon appear.

Filtering Projects

To filter the project list by creator:

1. Click the Filter By dropdown menu.
2. Check the box(es) corresponding to the project creator(s) to filter by.
