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
- Navigate to the Active Project Areas tab of the administrative
web interface.
- In the upper right, click Create Project Area.
- In the Project Name field, enter
a project area name.
- Enter a summary and description of the project area.
- 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.
- Optional: To add a user as a member of the project area,
complete these steps:
- Under Members or Administrators,
click Add.
- In the Select Users dialog box, enter a name to search
for a particular user, or click Show All.
- In the Matching users pane, select a user.
- Click Add.
- 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.
