Adding a Project

A Project is a collection of Assets, and Users that are invited to review them. Projects are created and administrated with Goviso Exchange. Your account must have permission to create Projects. There are four stages in separate pages when creating a new Project:

  1. Create the Project Name
  2. Add Contacts
  3. Set Access Levels
  4. Invite Users

Invite Users

This is the last stage in creating a Project. For all Users selected, Exchange sends an email invitation to the User containing a secure link that brings them to a Goviso registration page, where they register their own name and password. If they already have a Goviso account, they simply log in to the project.

To send an invitation to a User at a later time, see setting up users.

screen position
To edit a User's access, click their row in the list.
screen position
Click Finish. A message will appear indicating the invitations have been sent.
screen position
Click Done.

Your Project has been created. Now you can begin adding Assets - see adding assets to get started.
