Below are the steps for adding a new project from scratch:
1. Navigate to the 'Projects' tab and click the 'Add Project' option in the left-hand menu.
2. The 'Create Project' layered screen appears. This page has five tabs as shown below.
Before navigating to other tabs, the user must fill in all the mandatory fields under the 'Basic Information' tab. This tab contains the following fields:
1. Project Name - Enter a name for the project to be created, in a way that helps you easily identify it later.
2. Client Name - To select the client organization (owner organization of the project) from a list of organizations registered with Asite. The client name chosen while creating a project cannot be changed later, once created.
3. Geography - Select a geographical location to save your project data. The options currently available are 'United Kingdom (EU01)', 'North America (US01)', 'Australia (AU01)', and 'Netherlands (EU02)'. Once a project has been created, the selected geography cannot be changed later.
4. Viewer - The 'Universal Web Viewer' will be selected by default while creating new projects.
5. Status - A project can be assigned a different status based on the accessibility that the administrator wants, below are the available statuses and their details:
Open - By default every newly created project will have 'Open' status. An 'Open' project is accessible to all the users assigned to that project.
Closed - A user with the required system-level privilege can change the project status to 'Closed'. A closed project is not accessible to any user assigned to it. Users can contact Asite Support for help with closed projects.
Archived - You can change the project status to 'Archived' if the Asite System Administrator has assigned you the required privilege for archiving projects. An archived project is only accessible to users with the privilege of accessing the selected archived project. When changing the status of a project to 'Archived', the system will check to ensure that at least one project user can access archived projects and display a prompt message as applicable. Click here for details regarding functional limitations in a project having 'Archived' status. Archived projects are available only via the web interface. Their access via Asite Navigator (desktop app), Adoddle Field or Asite Field (mobile apps), and Asite API are restricted.
6. Upload Image - Upload a project image that will be used to list the project being created with a thumbnail image under the 'Projects' tab.
7. BIM Enabled - To enable BIM (Building Information Model) on the project being created.
