# Create project

CONTEXT



This guide describes how to create a new project in EG Ajour via Administration on the web. The function is found under the Projects tab in the administration module and lets you create a project with basic information and associate relevant groups with the project.



RELEVANCE



You need this guide when a new construction project is to be set up in the system - e.g. when starting a new project, a new building project or a new department that needs its own project space in Ajour. Without a created project, no data can be registered, no users can be associated, and modules such as AjourInspect & QA, AjourBox, AjourFM and AjourTender cannot be used on that project.



PREREQUISITES AND REQUIREMENTS




You must have a user account with administrator permissions (e.g. Level 1 / System Administrator)



You must have the system permission Create projects (included by default in the role Level 1 / System Administrator)



You must have access to the Administration panel in EG Ajour



You should know which groups (e.g. QA category groups) are to be associated with the project




GUIDE (step by step)



Step 1: Click the gear icon in the top menu to open the settings menu.



Step 2: Select Administration in the dropdown menu that opens.







Step 3: Click the Projects tab in the top menu of the administration panel. A list of existing projects is shown here.



Step 4: Click the Create project button. A window titled "Project information" opens with two steps: Information and Groups.







Step 5: Fill in the project details under the Information tab:




Enter Name (required field, marked with *)



Optionally select a Type from the dropdown menu



Fill in optional fields such as No., Description, Client, Street Name, Zip Code, City and Country, if relevant



Optionally select a BD-board (AjourFM) from the dropdown menu




Please note: Only the Name field is required to create the project. The other fields are optional and have no significance in the rest of the system.



Step 6: Click Next to go on to the group association.







Step 7: Under the Groups tab, a list of available groups (e.g. QA category groups) is shown. Click the group(s) you want to associate with the project. Selected groups are highlighted with a blue background.



Tip: Use the search field at the top of the list to quickly find a specific group. You can also click Select all to associate all groups at once.



Please note: At least one group must be selected for the project.



Step 8: Click Save to complete the creation of the project.







Step 9: The window closes automatically, and the new project is now shown in the project list with the status Active and today's date under Created.
