Creating a New Project

You can create a new project from the Dashboard or from the Projects section of the portal.

To create a project:

1. Click Create a new project. The interface contains two tabs: Settings and Extensions.

2. In the Settings tab, configure the project parameters (name, description, etc.).

3. If you want to make extensions available to project users, go to the Extensions tab, select each extension, and enable it using the toggle switch.

Once created, the project appears in the Projects section.

In both card and list views, an options menu is available for each project. It allows you to manage the project (edit, grant permissions, delete, etc.).

Project Settings

Name	Enter a name for your new project. As with other JMap Cloud resources, the name does not need to be unique.
Default language	Among the available languages, select the one that will be used by default when the requested language is not available or translations are missing.
Public	Optional. Check this setting if you want to make the project public. If you do not check the box, the project is private. The Permissions section describes the details of project access.
Map CRS	Select the coordinate reference system used to display coordinates. All data sources using a different projection are converted on the fly to this projection. Projects are displayed using the CRS EPSG:3857 - WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator.
Map unit	Select the map unit. The map unit is automatically selected based on the selected CRS.
Measurement unit	Unit used to display measurements (distance, area, etc.).
Initial rotation	If you want to apply a rotation to the map at project opening, enter the rotation value in degrees. The rotation is clockwise.
Background color	Default background color of the map.
Selection color	Color of selected objects on the map.
Description	Optional. Enter a description for the new project. This is useful for project management purposes. Click the language button if you want to provide the project name in another language (French, English or Spanish).
Tags	Optional. Add tags that can be used to sort or filter projects. You can create them by typing text in the field. Once created, they are available for use with all resources (DS, projects, layers). They appear when you enter tag terms.
Share my project with my organization	Check this option so that other members of the organization can see your project in the Projects section. Organization members will have the View project permission. You can modify it by accessing the Permissions section through the project menu .

Extensions

The Extensions tab displays the extensions available for the project. They have been made available at the organization level by an Administrator.

For an extension to be available in the JMap NG application that publishes the project, you must enable it for the project using the toggle switch. A dot next to the extension name indicates that it is enabled.
