Create Projects In Meridian Portal

Creating a new project in Meridian Enterprise creates a new project folder in the vault to hold sub-folders and project documents. If it is integrated with Meridian Portal, it also automatically creates a corresponding Meridian Portal project where you can share the project packages and Quick Shares with others. To create a new Meridian Portal project without also creating a Meridian Enterprise vault folder, see Create projects.

Use these steps for PowerUser and PowerWeb.

To create a project:

1. In the navigation pane, right-click the parent folder where you want to create the new project folder.

2. Point to New and then point to New Project.

3. Click the name of the project type that has been configured to work with Meridian Portal.

   If you are unsure of what type to choose, ask a System Administrator. The Project dialog box appears.

4. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the Project properties table below.

   Required fields are indicated by the asterisk (*) character.

5. Click Next.

   The Meridian Portal dialog box appears.

6. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the Meridian Portal table below.

7. Click Finish.

   Your new project folder appears in the navigation view.
