How to Create a New Project
Add a project with code, name, site reference types, client, and optional logo.
Overview
Projects contain sites and milestones for a piece of work — often aligned to a client, programme, or batch of work. When you create a project, you choose which site reference types apply and can optionally link a client, director, and other roles.
How to Access
Go to Main Menu → Projects, then click Add new (top right).
Creating a Project
- Enter a Code — often an incremental number, or your internal project code.
- Enter the Project name.
- Leave Status as Active for new work.
- Select Site reference types — the unique IDs you will use on this project (for example, client-specific reference types). See How to Set Up Site Reference Types.
- Optionally upload a client logo to distinguish client projects visually.
- Click Create.
After Creation
Additional fields become available:
- Client — select from clients already set up in XMP
- Project director, Project auth manager, and Business unit (optional)
You can return later to add more site reference types if the project expands.
