Projects

Projects are used to organize all of the people and assets for a specific feature, season of episodic TV, commercial, or whatever else you may want to use Flow Capture for.  

Adding New Projects 

To add a new Projects, first, click on the Desktop icon on the left, then, highlight the Project Group that you wish to add a Project under (in this case, the Group is called “Active”): 

Once you have the Group selected, the “Project +” button will appear: 

Once you click the “Project +” button, the new project panel will open on the right-hand side: 

Before you can create the project you’ll need to complete the following fields: 

• Project Name: This is the name of the Project that you’ve selected. Note that it can be updated in the future at any time by anyone with admin permissions. 
• Start date: This is the approximate start date for your project, to be used for your own reference 
• End date: This will automatically populate based on the end date of the license that is selected.
• License: Select the license that has been created for you for the appropriate business model (IE, Token User, Per Project, etc).

You can also include a description, change the Project color, or indicate the approximate storage you think you’ll be using if you wish.  

Lastly, you can select "Draft Project" to create the Project without sending any invitations to anyone else who you add to the Project. Unchecking this box will then send notifications to any participants added.

Once you’ve completed these fields, click on “Create” at the bottom, and your new Project will be active.  

Project Details 

With the Project selected on the left, the right-hand panel will provide a number of details related to your project. If you’re an admin, you’ll have the ability to change various settings or details that will impact the Project as a whole.  

At the top, you’ll see an Information tab. This will bring up general information about the Project selected, and will also allow you to change 2 things: 

• Project Name: Hovering over the Project Name will bring up a pencil icon, which when clicked will allow you to change the name of your project 
• Project Image: At the bottom, you’ll see an option to upload a poster image for your Project  

The Project Settings tab will allow you to view the current Project level settings that were set during the creation process. The only fields that can be changed here are Description, Storage estimate, and project Type.  

The Access tab will show you any Project-level teams that have been added, as well as the members of those teams. Any changes to these should be managed via the Manage Teams panel.  

The Security tab will allow you to change any security settings that affect the entire Project. 

The Cloaking tab is for Activity Cloaking, a feature that allows administrators to specify individuals, teams, or even entire domains to be excluded from activity reports. Cloaked activity can be specified at the company level, the production level, or the folder level, offering flexibility and control.

The Upload Options  panel will allow you to adjust the validation and multi-channel audio layout options. Any settings here will affect all assets and folders within the Project  

This Watermarking tab will allow you to create new Watermark templates and apply them at the Project level. 

This Personal Settings tab allow you to adjust your Email Notification settings. Setting them here will apply them to all folders across the entire project. Note that these settings impact notifications that are sent to you, not notifications that are sent by you.
