Create Project Area

A project area is where BrightWork project sites are created and managed. You can have multiple project areas in a BrightWork site.

To create a Project Area:

1. Login to the BrightWork Site home page and click Settings | Create Project Area to open the New Project Area form.

   Note: The Create Project Area option will only be available to users with the correct permissions - see About BrightWork and SharePoint Security for information about the permissions required to create a new site.

2. Fill out the New Project Area form. The fields on the form include:

   • Title and Description
     Enter a title and description for the new project area. The title will be displayed on every page in the project area.

   • Project Area Title on Quick Launch
     Select to set the first header link on the Quick Launch to the Project Area Title.

   • Web Site Address
     Accept the default or enter a new unique URL to assign to the project area.

   • Permissions

     • Use same permissions as parent site
       To give all users who have access to the site access to the project area.
     • Use unique permissions
       To give only the project area creator access to the project area and opt to add other users manually.

   • Navigation

   • • Select Yes to include the project area in the site Quick Launch and Top Link bar.

     • Select No to not include the project area in the site Quick Launch and Top Link bar.

   • Navigation Inheritance

   • • Select Yes to have the project area inherit its top link bar from the site.

     • Select No to have the project area have its own set of links on the top link bar and to exclude the parent site from the Breadcrumbs navigation (this means the Breadcrumbs navigation starts at the project area).

   • New Project Area

   • • Create default project area: Use the built-in default template to create the new project area.

     • Copy existing project area: Select an existing project area as a reference site for the new project area.

   • Include Content

   • • Include All Content: Includes the content from all lists and libraries (the default setting).

     • Configure Content: Provides the option to exclude the content from certain lists and libraries. Excluding content from the BrightWork Pages library; Report - Issues Lists; Report - Tabs; or Report Work Lists is not recommended as these items are necessary for the correct functioning of the site.
