Creating a new project

Starting a new project

Once logged in, create a new project by clicking the New button:

If you have access to an enterprise license of Sysrev, you should see an option to choose the Organization as the project owner, which will enable the premium features that are available with the enterprise license. 

After selecting one of the options, you must decide if you would like your project to be publicly viewable or private. See below for more information about public and private projects.

What is the difference between a Public and Private project?

Public projects can be used to share the labels, article metadata, users, and other information within the review with anyone with the project URL. Public projects also make reviews discoverable through Google search. Data created in publicly accessible reviews are re-usable by other reviewers and data scientists. With public projects, anyone with a Sysrev account can clone your project, including article metadata, labels and label answers. Note that PDF attachments are only visible to project members. People not affiliated with your project will not be able to view PDF attachments in public projects.

Private projects are viewable only by you and your collaborators. Private projects will not show up in Google search results or be publicly visible. They can only be viewed after a user is granted permission from a project administrator. Note that if you created a project as part of an organization, all other members in your organization will also be able to see the details of your project. 

Project names

Project names can only contain letters, numbers and dashes. No spaces or other characters are allowed.

Transferring a project from a personal to an enterprise license

If you would like to transfer a project into an enterprise license, first open the project. Next, open the Manage -> Settings dashboard, click the Transfer button, and choose which Organization the project should be transferred to. 

Note: You can NOT transfer projects from an enterprise license to a Basic or Premium account.
