Creating design project areas

You must create a design-based project area in a repository before your team can begin to collaborate on design models.

Before you begin

You should be familiar with project areas, configuration spaces, snapshots, workspaces, and change sets, which are described in Management of shared design resources.

You must be a member of either the JazzProjectAdmins group or the JazzAdmins group; otherwise, you cannot create a project area.

About this task

If you are creating project areas in multiple types of applications, such as design management, change and configuration management, quality management, and requirements management, and you want to associate these project areas with each other, consider creating a lifecycle project. A lifecycle project groups multiple project areas and provides a central location from which you can manage members of the project areas.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Jazz Team Server Administration Home page: Click the Home icon near the top left, and select Jazz Team Server Home.
  2. In the Application Administration section, under Design Management, click Create Project Area.
  3. In the Project Name field, enter a project area name.
  4. Enter a summary and description of the project area.
  5. To select a process template, under Process, complete one of the following steps:
    • Click Basic to use several predefined user roles and general project permissions.
    • Click Blank to allow all users to have every user role, with very few limitations.
  6. Optional: To add a user as a member of the project area, complete these steps:
    1. Under Members or Administrators, click Add.
    2. In the Select Users dialog box, enter a name to search for a particular user, or click Show All.
    3. In the Matching users pane, select a user.
    4. Click Add.
  7. Click Save.

What to do next

Consider assigning process roles such as Project Lead or Architect to the users who are associated with a project area.
