Creating a project

New projects can be created by any user.

Start_Projects_New

noteNote

When creating a new project, its important that the project identifier used at the time of creation is correct, as changing this after a project is created can be difficult once data is added.

hs-tip

The project identifier can be constrained by referencing a lookup table if required (i.e. accounts system) to ensure input consistency and control project creation.

hs-caution

Once a project is provisioned in a project filtered sync, the ability to change the project identifier is locked as this value is used by the synchronization system to filter data.
