Projects

Projects, which are used to organize your work, provide digital spaces for collaboration. When planning your work, you can create projects using Prysm for web or Prysm for desktop, or you can use Prysm for rooms to create an ad-hoc project during a meeting.

1. After signing in to Prysm, select .

2. Enter a Project Name and an optional project description.

   A project description can help you identify the contents or purpose of the project. The project description is listed in the project details area when you select a project from the projects panel.

3. From the list of sizes, select a workspace size for the project.

   Choose a workspace size based on the primary location where you will be using the project. For example, if you select a larger workspace size and use it on a smaller display, you will have to pan through the workspace to see all of the content. The size selected by default when you create the project is the recommended workspace size.

   

4. The next step depends upon whether you created the project from a Prysm-enabled display in a conference room, from Prysm for web, or from Prysm for desktop.
   • From a Prysm-enabled display in a conference room, select Save. Your project is opened to the default workspace and you can begin adding content.
   • From Prysm for web or Prysm for desktop, select Create. Your new project is listed at the beginning of the project list.

1. Navigate to the Project page as follows:
   • From Prysm for web, using the navigation menu, tap Home to display the project list.
     
   • From Prysm for rooms, using the Touch menu, select Exit > Projects.

2. Select a project to display project details.

   

   If you have a long list of projects, search for the project by name or use the sort controls to find the desired project. For more information, see Searching for projects.

3. Select a workspace to open the project to the specified workspace.

You can edit a project by changing the project name, adding a description, or changing the workspace size.

1. Navigate to the Projects page.
   • From Prysm for web, select Projects from the navigation menu.
     
   • From Prysm for rooms, from the Touch menu, select Exit > Projects.
2. Open the Edit Projects form.
   • From Prysm for web, tap next to the project name and tap Edit.
   • From Prysm for rooms, tap next to the project name.
3. Using the Edit Project form, add or update project information as follows.
   
   • Edit the project name.
   • Add or edit the project description. A project description helps you identify the contents or purpose of the project.
   • Select a different workspace size. Make sure you choose a workspace size based on the primary location where you will be using the project. For example, if you select a larger workspace size and use it on a smaller display, you will have to pan through the workspace to see all of the content.

You may want to duplicate a project to retain a project record, or you may want to create a project that has some common files with another project.  You can easily create the new project by duplicating the original project.
