To create a new project within OpenGround Cloud Professional, ensure that no project is currently open then click on the Create Project button within the system ribbon.

The create project screen will then appear, allowing for the details of the project to be defined.

Enter the data into the fields as needed and click on the save button to create the new project. If data is entered into the fields that is not valid or if required data is missing, then OpenGround Cloud Professional will display this information to the user.

Active for field data collection enables someone with the correct rights to set selected projects for "use in the field" which would then ensure all these projects are listed in Collector. By default, it will be 'Yes', which means all the project can be seen in Data Collector.

Hover over any of the red validation marks to view a message stating what the error is.

Only the Project Identifier, Name, Status and Category need to be entered into the details section to enable the project to be created although it is recommended that all available data is input at this stage if possible.

Under the configuration section, all details will need to be filled in to enable the project to be created correctly.

Any additional Project Picklists can also be defined when adding a project.

As well as the default project details, a coordinate system will also need to be selected. This will allow for OpenGround Cloud Professional to plot the locations of your data onto the background mapping and allow for section diagrams to be produced.

OpenGround Cloud comes with a range of Co-ordinate systems predefined to allow for selection of a system that matches the location of your data. If further co-ordinate systems are required, then please view the additional coordinate systems available via Bentley Assist. If further configuration packs are available within OpenGround Cloud Professional, then they can be selected from within the Configuration Pack drop-down. If no further configuration packs are available, then the default pack will be used for the new project.

OpenGround Cloud Professionalinstalls with a default configuration pack, which should serve the needs for most projects and setups.

Further details on configuration packs can be found in the Configuration Packs section of this guide.
