Create Project Window
The Create Project window provides for creating a Project.
• In the Enterprise Edition , you typically create a Project in your Enterprise database. However, you can also create a Team Project or a Tryout Project. For more information, see Creating a Team Project in the Enterprise Edition or Creating a Tryout Project.
In the Options window in the Administrator application, > controls whether Enterprise Edition users can display either Enterprise Projects or Team Projects in the Projects pane. If your system administrator has selected this checkbox, you can click Show Enterprise Projects or Show Team Projects in the Project Navigator, to switch between displaying Enterprise Projects and Team Projects in the Projects pane. For more information, see Switching Between Showing Enterprise and Team Projects in the Project Navigator (Enterprise Edition Only). In this situation, the type of Project to create depends on the type of Projects currently shown in the Project Navigator.
• In the Team Edition, you typically create a Team Project in the directory in which your data files are stored. The default is the My Windchill Risk and Reliability Files folder for the current installation. Additionally, you can create a Tryout Project. For more information, see Creating a Tryout Project.
• In a Tryout version, you can create only a Tryout Project. The limitations imposed on Tryout Projects are described in Tryout Data Limitations.
The look of the Create Project window varies slightly based on the type of Project being created. The following table describes all options that can appear in the Create Project window.

Run New Project Wizard
|
Indicates whether to start the New Project Wizard. You typically use the New Project Wizard to create a Project by copying an existing Project or template. Additionally, the New Project Wizard provides for creating a new Project with custom settings. In this case, it displays pages for selecting which modules to use and for specifying certain Project and System file properties. In the Enterprise Edition, if a connection to Windchill has been set up in the desktop version of the Administrator application, the New Project Wizard also provides for creating a Project from a Windchill PDMLink/Windchill MPMLink product.
