Creating a project

A project needs a vendor profile. If the vendor is not listed, add it first in Vendor Profiles.

On the Projects page, click Create project. The Create project dialog opens.

Enter a Project name. The name must be unique in your organisation (case-insensitive).

Create project dialog

Search for and select a Vendor profile.
Select a Purchase order. This field is available once a vendor profile is selected.

Under Additional Settings, tick any that apply to this project:

  • Require stock-in
  • Require visual grading
  • Require label print

Under Licence allocation, leave the project Uncapped to draw licences from the organisation pool, or tick Allocate a fixed number of licences. A quota can also be set from the project page after it is created — see Setting a licence quota.

Click Create.
