Project creation

Creating a new project​

New projects are created with Casambi Pro for Windows, at the Backstage view. A project cannot be created with Pro for iOS.

When the New… tab in the Backstage is clicked, a dialog is displayed for entering a name for the project and setting the time zone. The project name can be changed later in the project details view.

note

Projects can be created only with the Windows version of Casambi Pro.

After a project is created, the main workspace is displayed. A new project does not have any contents, so the user interface has some help texts to guide user to get started.
