Create a project

A P4 DAM project contains a collection of assets you can work on yourself or with a team. For example, a project may contain all assets for a specific game. See Projects.

Use a project to limit access to assets to only those who need it. You can invite team members to the project after you create it.

  1. On the home page, on the right side of the My projects section, click View all projects.

  2. On the All projects page, click Create project.

  3. In the Create new project dialog box, enter the Project name.

  4. Select a color to assign to the project.

    The color is used on the icon for the project and can help others find it in the list of projects.
