Article: Creating a new project
Creating a new Project is simple. You have 2 options to begin:
- Just click on the
New Project icon in the toolbar; or
- Click on the + tab next to your active project tabs

A "New Project Settings" wizard will appear:
Simply enter a Name for the Project then click on the Next button.
Viewpath allows you to choose to:
- Create a brand new project - Creates a blank project with no tasks or resources.
- Create a project from an existing project - Creates a copy of an existing project. You can select a new Start Date and choose whether to also duplicate the Resources list from that project.
- Create a project using a template - Creates a copy of a template. You can select a new Start Date and choose whether to also duplicate the Resources list from that template.

Simply select your choices throughout the wizard and click on the "Next" button.
- Import Resources: The last step of the New Project wizard when creating a duplicate of an existing Project or Template is the "Import Resources" page. You are given three options:
- Import All Resources - Will import all Resources from the Template/Project
- Import Assigned Resources - Will import only those Resources that have been assigned one or more tasks within the Template/Project. Those Resources that do not have assigned tasks will not be imported.
- None - Will not import any resources from the Template/Project.

When the project is created, it will open in a new tab across the top and display the project contents.
TIP: You can use placeholders in the Resource list on a Template and assign them to individual tasks. When you create a new Project based on that Template, simply change the name and email address in the Resources tab and the assigned tasks will now be assigned to that Resource!
