Work with Projects

Projects let you group related parts together, making it easier to organize your work, collaborate across teams, and track costs at a higher level. See Collaborate Using Projects in the aP Workspace documentation for more information on projects.

From aP Design, you can manage projects and scenarios in several ways, as described below.

Create a New Project

You can create a new project in aP Workspace directly from the Explore view.

  1. In the Explore view, select New project

  2. Enter the required information to create your project. See Create a New Project

Add Scenarios to a Project

You can add a published scenario to a project from either the Explore or Evaluate views.

Note: Scenarios must be published (public) before you can add them to a project. See Publish a Scenario.

To add a scenario from Evaluate:

  1. Open an analyzed scenario in the Evaluate view

  2. Next to Project, select the ADD TO PROJECT link

  3. Choose a project from the dropdown, then select ADD TO PROJECT

Tip: Start typing in the project dropdown to quickly find a project.

To add a scenario from Explore:

  1. Select a scenario or scenarios from the Card or Table View

  2. Select ADD TO PROJECT from the toolbar

  3. Choose a project from the dropdown, then select ADD TO PROJECT

Open an Associated Project

If your scenario is already associated with a project, you can open the project directly from Evaluate.

  1. Open an analyzed scenario in the Evaluate view

  2. Next to Project, select the project name link to open the associated project in aP Workspace

Note: If the scenario isn't in a project yet, no project name link is shown.

Open a Scenario in aP Workspace

  1. Open an analyzed scenario in the Evaluate view

  2. Select AP WORKSPACE and choose Open in aP Workspace

Note: You can open published scenarios in aP Workspace. If the scenario is not published (private), the AP WORKSPACE button is disabled.
