Projects

Create projects to label related pipelines, assign a pipeline to a project, and delete a project you no longer need.

A project is a named label for related pipelines, such as the pipelines of one system or one team. Projects are optional. A pipeline works the same with or without one, and a project has no settings, credentials or permissions of its own. Projects belong to an account, and every account has its own.

At this release, a project groups pipelines only. Saved connections aren't part of a project, and the pipeline list doesn't group or filter by project. A pipeline's project shows in one place: the check mark in the pipeline's Actions > Set project… list. The Projects page and search list projects, but not their pipelines.

Before you begin

  • You need the User or Account admin role. A member with the Viewer role can see projects but can't change them. See Accounts and team.

Create a project

  1. Open Projects in the top navigation, and select New project.
  2. Enter a Name. It must contain at least one letter or digit.
  3. Optionally enter a Description.
  4. Select Create.

A name that is already used in the account is refused with A project named '<name>' already exists.

Edit a project

Select Edit on a project, change the Name or the Description, and select Save. Pipelines assigned to a project stay assigned when you rename it.

Assign a pipeline to a project

  1. Open the pipeline.
  2. Select Actions, then Set project….
  3. Choose a project. To take the pipeline out of its project, choose No project. The project the pipeline is in now has a check mark.

Set project… is offered when the account has at least one project, or when the pipeline already has one.

Delete a project

Select Delete on the project and confirm Delete project "<name>"? This cannot be undone.

SQL Flow refuses while a pipeline still belongs to the project: <n> pipeline(s) belong to this project; reassign or archive them first. Assign those pipelines to another project or to No project, or archive them, and delete the project again. Archived pipelines don't block a deletion.
