2.2.2.1 New Project

Before you begin with designing your digital factory, first you have to create a new project that stores your data. Alternatively, if the project that you want to work on already exists, you can just open the project from the database. Once a project is created, it is automatically saved in the eMServer and can be opened the next time you launch Process Designer.

Creating New Project

1. Select File > New Project from the menu bar (if this option is not available, close the open project first).
2. The New Project window opens, displaying a list of available projects.
3. Specify a name for the new project in the New Project Name field. The new name that you assign must be unique in order to activate the OK button. The system creates a new project in the eMServer of the currently logged-in user.
4. Click OK.

2. Process Designer opens the same Open Project window as when the application is started.
3. Select the desired project from the list and the project release version from the dropdown list. By default, Process Designer displays the most recent release when you select a project.
4. Double-click to open or click OK.
5. Process Designer then opens a Navigation Tree view, displaying the top node of the selected project.
