To create a new project in TACTIC, load the Create Project wizard from the Header Action Menu.
Specify the project options in this wizard, then click Create Project.
Create Project Options
Project Title | The project title is displayed many places in the TACTIC interface, so it should be the full project title that is understandable to all users. |
Project Code | The Project Code is automatically generated once the Project Title has been entered. This code is a unique identifier for the project that should only contain alphanumeric characters or the underscore "_" character. This code is used in many areas in the database which tie all elements of the production together. For this reason, a project code name cannot be changed after the project has been set up and saved through this wizard. |
Copy From Template | This option facilitates and speeds up the creation of a new project from an existing project. The copy from template option creates a new copy of all your project records to the new template project, such as asset libraries, task records, pipelines and workflow configurations. Once the new project has been created, the admin user can then make any additional modifications required to suit their new project. Please note that only template projects should be copied. |
Accessing Projects from a Web Browser
The new project can be access from the web browser using the URL:
http://(server)/projects/(code)/
For example, for a project with the code "test" on a server called "tactic", the URL would be:
http://tactic/projects/test/
Once the new project is created, navigate to the Admin views > Project Setup link in the sidebar.
The Project Setup view provides some guidance on how to set up a project.
Can a New Project Be Undone?
Unlike most operations in TACTIC, when you create a project it is not easily undo-able because of the number of complex actions that must take place:
If a project is accidentally created, then it is best to delete the project immediately.
