6.3. Create

Making a new project is actually quiet simple. We'll start by clicking on the "Products & Projects" link in the menu on the left. This will bring us to the project search screen but also shows a little option in the upper left part of the menu called 'New'. When we click that one we'll be presented with a screen very similar to the one you see in the next picture.

Personally I think that with all the information I already supplied before filling this form can't be too difficult. However, there is one thing you should be aware off. Linking a project to a customer or a partner or something else involves entering all the data, clicking on the 'Enter' button and after that clicking on the 'modify' menu option to enter the second role related to this project. Ah, wait, let me show you. We start by entering some data as shown in the next picture:

There is something on this form that we have not yet discussed. That is the 'new relation'. This field is used to define a relation between this project and another. You simply enter the name of the other project and the type of relation you want. You can choose from the following list:

• Project Base: to make a link to a base project of which this is a subproject.

• Ancestor Project: to make a link to an ancester project.

• Succesor Project: to make a link to a succesor project.

• Sub Project: to make a linkt to a subproject.

As you can see, this all looks very easy. Now we click on the 'Enter' button to submit and store our data. Next we will see a screen with the project details we entered. But since we are still not completely satisfied we will continue with the next section about modifying this project.
