How To Initiate a Project In DocBoss (Updated)

A project is the container object in DocBoss. It defines the information required to manage your documentation.

It typically reflects the purchase order detail from your customer.

1. Create new project

From Project List (option 1)

Click the Add icon in the top right-hand corner of the grid.

From Logo Menu (option 2)

From the logo menu, click Add new Project.

2. Choose project fields template

1. Select template (if unsure, use default).
2. Click Continue.

Project Field templates are reusable templates that allow you to start a project in DocBoss knowing that you will be adding all specific data required for that project. If you don’t have a template already saved, no problem, you can still add the custom columns at any time throughout a project.

3. Complete project quick start

Complete the project Quick Start form.

1. Fill out the required fields
2. To add additional information (optional), select Show all settings instead. To read a description of all fields on this screen, see Project Main Settings.
3. Click Save Project.

The project is now created. Next, add the list of equipment and doc codes.
