Creating a Project

Projects are created through the Projects section in the left navigation menu. A VCS provider and at least one engine must be configured before a project can be created.

Step 1: Name the project​

Enter a name for the project.

Step 2: Select a target engine​

Start by linking an engine to the project by selecting an engine from the list of available engines. Optionally set the engine as default.

By setting an engine as default, experiments will be automatically provisioned in it, unless another one is specified in the manifest.

After project creation​

Once a project is created, each member receives an email confirming that they have been added to the project.

Users who are not yet members of the organisation will receive an invitation to join the organisation and create an account. The invitation link expires after 48 hours. Resending or revoking an invitation is possible.

The username for each member is their email address.

The project will take a few minutes to get ready.
