Project Details

This chapter covers the concepts of projects in Capital Project Manager, the Project Details pane, and how to select projects for use in Capital Teamwork.

Project Details Overview

In Capital Teamwork, you can create, view, and edit projects in the Capital database, and add build lists containing your designs into the projects.

Capital Project Manager is the application used to administer the projects and their designs for the Capital suite of applications. A project is usually an automotive or aerospace product line.

Projects are top-level containers for all of the designs and data that comprise a specific product line. Once created, a project can have data added from the Capital applications.

Project Details Tabs

The Details pane for the Project Details workflow displays information for the selected project on three tabs: Details, Attachments, Properties.

Details Tab — Displays the following default attributes:

• Name — Unique identifier of the project.
• Folder — Location of the project in the project structure.
• Description — Additional comments or notes relevant to the project.
• Domain — Assigns a domain to the project (and its designs/attributes) to permit access only to users with matching Domain Access.

You can also specify additional user properties, such as Derivate or Vehicle Type, in the projectconfig.json file. See "Configuration JSON Files."

Attachments Tab — Displays attachments associated with the project as supporting information, listed in a table with columns Name, Type, Key, Modified. You can filter each column (Filter icon) or use the Dropdown on column headers — see "Filtering Tables." Icons let you download, add, or delete attachments — see "Using Attachments."

Tip: You can add file sizes up to 300 MB. To add larger files, edit the projectconfig.json file. See "Configuration JSON Files."

Properties Tab — Displays a list of user properties on the project specified in the source application. Icons let you delete or add properties as Name/Value string pairs — see "Using Properties."

Using Projects

This section covers creating projects and editing project properties/attachments.

Restriction: You must refresh the web page or start a new session of Capital Teamwork to activate any modifications to your domain access. If you have no domain access to a project, the project is not available to select in the Project dropdown list. See "Domain Restricted Visibility" in the Capital Access Manager User Guide.
