Project Configuration

The Project Configuration module lets you configure project-specific settings. This module is available to project owners, administrators, and main users who created a project themselves. Any user can be set as a project owner by an Administrator or Main User, or automatically when a main user creates a project themselves.

Projects are used to set up Monitor and Evaluation templates.

Access

To use project configuration:

• You must be the project owner of the project, or
• You must be a main user and have created the project yourself, or
• You must be an administrator

Users with member rights only cannot edit the project configuration.

Configuration sections

Project members

Manage the members of a project. See Project members for more information.

Periods

Configure time periods for a project. Periods are used for monitor and evaluation templates. See Periods for more information.

Objects

Manage point and line objects within a project. Objects are used for monitoring and evaluation. See Objects for more information.

Monitor

Configure monitor templates for a project. Templates define which charts are shown in the Monitor view. See Monitor configuration for more information on configuring.

For guidance on using the monitor, see Using the Monitor.

For guidance on using evaluation, see Point evaluation templates and Line evaluation templates.

Navigating to project configuration

As administrator or main user

Navigate to project configuration via the projects subpage of overall configuration:

1. Go to Configuration > Projects
2. Click the configuration button (the first one with the gear icon) on the project row

Main users can only configure projects they created themselves or for which they are set as project owner.

As project owner

You can navigate to project configuration via several overviews:

1. Via the projects overview: Click “configuration” for the selected project
2. Via the monitor templates overview: Click “configuration” for a monitor template
3. Via the evaluation templates overview: Click “configuration” for an evaluation template

In all cases you arrive at the project configuration page where you can manage all project-specific settings.

Getting started

Use the Project Configuration module to manage all project-specific settings. Start by configuring periods and objects, then create monitor and evaluation templates.
