Create projects

A project is the starting point of all work in KCM Repository. If you are the first user of KCM Repository, it probably does not yet contain any projects. If so, at least one new project has to be created. This section is for users whose role is to create and configure projects.

A user must be assigned the roles of Project Administrator to be able to configure or create projects. For more information, see Roles and authorization.

To create a project, click the folder Projects and then click File > New Project. In the dialog that appears, select the document type and the scripting language of the new project. The document type determines if the project contains Microsoft Word .doc or Microsoft Word .docx documents. The scripting language determines if the keywords in templates are English, Dutch, or German. You cannot change these settings once the project has been created.

When a project is created, a number of the predefined folders are automatically added to the project. These folders are used to store the objects after which they are named.

After a project is created, the Configuration dialog for the project opens. You must specify a number of project settings before you can create and run Master Templates. To configure the project, see Configure contents.
