Creating a Project

There are several ways to create a project:
  • The system can automatically create a project through a Business Rule. This is the most likely scenario in a production system. Specifically, your administrator or you, if the administrator gave you rights to do so, can set up a rule that watches for new content and automatically creates a project when the new content is added. For information about setting up rules, see the section "Creating and Using Rules" in the WorldServer Administrator Guide.
  • You can create a project manually through the WorldServer Explorer interface or via the Upload Files and Create a Project on the Home page. For example, after an author has added content to the system, you can create a translation project that creates versions of that content for new languages.
  • You can create a project through TransPort.
  • You can create a project using the WorldServer SDK.

When it executes, a project creates one task per asset per target language. For example, if you create a project with two assets and three target languages, there will be a total of six tasks.
