Creating a new TICS project

There are two methods for creating a new TICS project. The first one is to use the tool TICSMaintenance. This method is a command-line tool, and is therefore best suited for the expert user. For novice users, we recommend using the Build Configuration pages of the TICS Viewer, which gives you a more user-friendly and streamlined experience.

To create a project using Build Configuration, the following steps need to be carried out.

  1. Open the TICS Dashboard and open the "Build Configuration" from the application menu in the top-left corner. If you do not see this item, you are not authorized. If this is a fresh TICS installation, you can use the default username/password combination admin/admin. Otherwise, please ask your TICS Administrator or TICS representative to give you the proper authorization.

    Open Build Configuration

  2. Create a new project by clicking on Add Project and Create Project...(wizard)

    Add project

  3. Enter the project properties:

    • Name for the new project
    • Name of the branch
    • Select a directory that corresponds to the root of that branch, i.e., the location where that branch is checked out on the file system

    Then press Create to create the project.
