Create a new project in CxPlanner

Overview


Creating a new project lets you manage checklists, planning, and documentation in a structured environment. You can start from scratch or clone an existing template to reuse structure and settings.


Only users with the Company Admin or Manager role can create new projects.


When and why to use this


Creating a new project is typically your first step when onboarding a new job into CxPlanner. Whether it’s a new building, commissioning process, or facility handover, each project gives you a dedicated workspace.


  • Use this when starting a new job or client contract.
  • You can customize the setup with modules, plugins, and templates.
  • Projects can be cloned from existing ones to speed up setup.
  • Each project is isolated with its own user permissions and data.
