Projects
A project is the top-level container that you use to store folders and objects in the Developer tool.
Use projects to organize and manage the objects that you want to use for data services and data quality solutions.
You manage and view projects in the Object Explorer view. When you create a project, the Developer tool stores the project in the Model repository.
Each project that you create also appears in the Analyst tool.
The following table describes the tasks that you can perform on a project:
Task | Description |
|---|
Manage projects | Manage project contents. You can create, duplicate, rename, and delete a project. You can view project contents. |
Filter projects | Filter the list of projects that appear in the Object Explorer view. |
Manage folders | Organize project contents in folders. You can create, duplicate, rename, and move folders within projects. |
Manage objects | View object contents, duplicate, rename, move, and delete objects in a project or in a folder within a project. |
Search projects | Search for folders or objects in projects. You can view search results and select an object from the results to view its contents. |
Assign permissions | Select the users and groups that can view and edit objects in the project. Specify which users and groups can assign permissions to other users and groups. |

Filter Projects
You can filter the list of projects that appear in the Object Explorer view. You might want to filter projects if you have access to a large number of projects but need to manage only some of them.
The Developer tool retains the list of projects that you filter the next time that you connect to the repository.
You can filter projects at the following times:
- Before you connect to the repository
When you filter projects before you connect to the repository, you can decrease the amount of time that the Developer tool takes to connect to the repository.
Select File > Connect to Repository. After you select the repository and enter your user name and password, click Next. The Open Project dialog box displays all projects to which you have access. Select the projects that you want to open in the repository and then click Finish.
- After you connect to the repository
If you are connected to the repository, click File > Close Projects to filter projects out of the Object Explorer view. The Close Project dialog box displays all projects that are currently open in the Object Explorer view. Select the projects that you want to filter out and then click Finish.
- To open projects that you filtered, click File > Open Projects.
