Register a Project

Overview:

Organizations can enable CONNECT Users to register and collaborate on ProjectWise Projects. These projects contain project information such as Project Name, Asset Industry, Asset Type, Location etc. While creating a WorkSet in a CONNECT Edition product, you can associate it to a ProjectWise Project where the project information is included in the data files as properties.

Who can register a CONNECTED Project?

To register a ProjectWise Project directly from the CONNECT Center  using "Register a Project" a user must have Administrator, Co-administrator, or CONNECT Services Admin privileges associated with their Bentley account. These privileges are required because registered ProjectWise Projects are Organization-wide resources that represent real-world projects and are used in many different locations for information organization and reporting. Therefore, access is limited to those members of an Organization with sufficient privileges to ensure that only recognized and permitted ProjectWise Projects be registered on behalf of an Organization. Note that Project based roles such as Project Administrator will not allow rights to register a project.

Some of the services like ProjectWise Web Connections, Deliverables Management, ect., will register projects by a user that is not an administrator when accessing the service. That user will not be able to edit project properties or do any other administrator tasks within that project. It will still need to be managed by an administrator. It's part of the service process.

*Users within the organization who were not designated as an Administrator or Co-Administrator who are requesting rights should contact organization's Administrator. Bentley does NOT fulfill these requests.

How to register a ProjectWise Project?

1. From the CONNECTION Client click the CONNECT Center link or from your internet browser go to the CONNECT Center

2. On the ProjectWise Projects Tile, select + in the upper right corner (if you do not have the + symbol that means you don't have the proper role to register a project. You will have to contact your account administrator to request one of the roles mentioned in the "Who can register a CONNECTED Project" section above).

Or, from the main menu select Projects

3. Then click the green button Register a Project 

4. Registration dialog box will be displayed.

 5. Below is a brief description of each field:

• Project Number – Project ID officially used in Organization for tracking project internally (e.g. EAP id, like DMO-063 VP 778).

• Project Name – Common name for the project within an Organization (e.g. I-565 Interchange at County Line Road).

• Asset - Works with AssetWise application.

• Industry -The industry to which the project belongs like Roads and Highways, Rail and Transit, Buildings and Facilities etc.

• Engineering Location - Location of the project
  
  
• Time Zone - Time zone of the project location

• Data Center Location - If the project will be used for any of the CONNECT Services you'll need to select the location.

Once a data center is selected it cannot be changed after the project is registered.
  
  
  
  

• Billing Country - Location of the billing organization

• Status - Active/Inactive
  **Note - Setting a Project to Inactive will hide it from view. If you wish to locate it at a later time turn on "Include Inactive" when searching for projects
• Team Member Management  Allow External Team Members - (See Role-Based Access Control) Team members outside of your organization that you're collaborating with
  • ***Note that the services available to Project Team Members (including external participants) may require a ProjectWise365 Visa. If an external participant is from a non-Bentley-user organization and does not have the necessary Visa, then you will be responsible for their usage, which will be automatically included in your organization's usage report.***
