Typically, a system administrator or supervisor would be responsible for setting up new projects. As a user with rights to perform this function, you will need to establish an appropriate keyword or project name to identify the new project, and determine where the project documents should be stored. In a configuration with multiple file servers, you must select one of these servers, and then determine a suitable directory to locate the project documents.
A project must be managed from a single server, with all it’s files in a single directory. If you need to separate project files across multiple directories or servers, you can create multiple sub-projects with a relationship to an existing common "Master" project.
After clicking on the New Project icon, a blank Project form is displayed for you to fill in the details regarding the project that you need to create.
After completing the information on the form, you can click on the save or undo/cancel button as shown below.
Create the project.
Cancel or Undo any information entered on the form.
When the project record is saved, the specified directory on the selected server will be created if it does not already exist.
If the project name specified is already used by another project defined on the system, an error message will be displayed, unless it is a sub-project since TIMS3 will recognize duplicate sub-project names.
