Project List Guide

Learn how to create and manage individual projects within the GIIP platform and assign infrastructure assets to each project.

📁 Go to Project List →

📋 Overview

A Project is the most basic management unit of GIIP. All infrastructure assets—including servers, databases, and networks—must belong to a specific project, allowing for clear permission isolation and resource tracking.

🔍 Key Features

1. Project Creation & Basic Setup

• Add New Project: Enter a project name, owner, description, and estimated budget to create a project.
• Status Management: Manage the project lifecycle through Active, Suspended, or Closed statuses.

2. Asset Binding

• Connect Servers: Select and bind servers for use in the respective project from the list of unallocated servers.
• Connect Databases: Allocate necessary DB instances to the project.
• Visualization: Instantly check the unique 3D topology of a specific project on its detail page.

3. Project Dashboards

Each project has its own unique dashboard. Comprehensive monitoring allows you to track server load, issue statuses, and daily cost trends within the project.

4. Quick Actions for the Selected Project (Top Header)

Right next to the project name in the Selected Project: header at the top of the page, five small icon buttons act directly on the currently selected project. You can run them without locating that project's row in the list.

Order	Color	Action	Behavior
1	Blue	User Management	Opens the user list (userlist) of the selected project.
2	Indigo	Project Groups	Opens the project group list (prjgrouplist?csn=) of the selected project - the same screen as the [Groups] button on a list row.
3	Yellow	Edit	Opens the [Edit Project] dialog for changing the project code and name.
4	Purple	Select Language	Opens the [Change Project Language] dialog for the project default language.
5	Red	Delete	Deletes the project after a confirmation prompt.

• When no project is selected, all five buttons are shown disabled (grey).
• If the selected project is not present in the current list, [Edit] and [Delete] are disabled because the required data is unavailable, while [User Management], [Project Groups] and [Select Language] still work.
• [Delete] is visible only to the project Owner or a system administrator - the same condition as the [Delete] button on a list row.
• The existing per-row buttons (Enter / Users / Groups / Edit / Language / Delete) remain unchanged.
• The header icon buttons navigate to the same screens as the matching per-row buttons. The row buttons are the source of truth for destination, icon and color.

🛠️ Management Steps

1. Navigate to the GIIP [Infrastructure Management] > [Project List] menu.
2. Click the [Create] button and enter project info.
3. Click a project from the list to go to its detail page, then assign servers and DBs in the [Assets] tab.

💡 Tips

• Use Tags: Entering relevant tags (e.g., #Production, #Java, #AWS) when creating a project makes it easier to find the desired one among many later.
• Permission Control: User access is controlled at the project level, so consider isolating sensitive assets into separate projects.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Solution
The server you want to bind does not appear in the [Assets] tab	The server is already allocated to another project	Only unallocated servers are listed—release the server from its existing project and try again.
The 3D topology on the project detail page is empty	No server/DB assets have been bound yet	Assign servers and DBs in the [Assets] tab to populate the topology.
A project is missing from the list or cannot be edited	The project status has been changed to Closed	Change the status back to Active before managing it.
Hard to find a specific project among many	No tags were entered at creation	Register tags (e.g., #Production, #Java) to use search and filtering.
The [Edit]/[Delete] icons in the header are grey and not clickable	No project is selected, or the selected project is not in the current list	Reload the list with [List], or select a project from the list.
The [Delete] icon is not shown in the header at all	You are neither the project Owner nor a system administrator	Ask the project owner to perform the deletion.
