Project details
OpsChain uses projects to organise environments, assets, changes, and workflows. A project can contain environments and assets. Changes can be deployed against projects, environments, and assets. Workflows can only be executed within a project.
This guide covers the navigation and usage of the projects and the individual project details screens.
Navigating to the projects screen
To view and manage your projects:
- Log in to the GUI.
- Access projects from the navigation bar to see a table of all projects.
Features of the projects screen
The projects screen displays a table with several important columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of each project. |
| Code | A unique identifier for the project. |
| Description | A brief summary or purpose of the project. |
| Archived | This column indicates the archival status of the project, showing whether it has been archived. |
If you don't see any project in the list, it is possible that either no projects have been created or you have not been granted access to any projects.
