Creating a New Process-based Workspace Project

When one or more process definitions for the Project Creations process theme are active, the ability to create a new project through the Create Project dialog is restricted to Local and VCS type projects only. Instead, the creation of Workspace-based projects comes under the control of active process definitions.

From within Altium Designer, activated process definitions that are part of the Project Creations theme can be accessed from the main File » New » Project in <WorkspaceName> sub-menu. After launching the chosen command, the Create New Project dialog (actually named after the chosen process) opens. Use the General tab of the dialog to give the project a name and description, specify its type, and assign a template, if desired. On the Advanced tab, you can specify the local working directory for the project, choose the target repository and folder and also specify in which folder, within the Workspace's folder structure, it is to reside. Once ready, click Start to create the new Workspace project in accordance with the underlying workflow for that process.

Process-based Project Converting

When the connected Workspace includes activated process definitions that are part of the Project Creations theme, the indexed commands can be accessed by right-clicking on a local project in the Projects panel and selecting the desired process from the Convert to Managed Project sub-menu.

If no active process definitions are available for the Project Creations process theme - in your active Workspace - the sub-menu will not be visible.

After launching the command, the Create Project dialog (actually named after the chosen process) opens. Use the General tab of the dialog to describe the project and specify the type of project and template, if desired. On the Advanced tab, you can specify the location of the project and choose the repository, and repository and Workspace folders. Once ready, click Start to create the new Workspace project in accordance with the underlying workflow for that process.
