My Projects

To create a new project select the +Add link.
Fill in the Name field and any other information you may like to include in the Project information. The Project Category is useful for others to filter their Project search. The Access setting defaults to Private which allows only those Connections with whom you have shared the Project to view its information and files. Setting Access to Public allows anyone to view the information, documents and image gallery. When finished select the Submit command link at the bottom of the form.
