Creating Projects

When creating a Project in Gridfox you can choose to create a new Project from scratch, or use one of the available templates. All Projects are created from the homepage, which can be accessed by navigating to app.gridfox.com or by clicking the Back to Projects link when in a Project.

Creating an Empty Project

You can create an empty Project which you can customise and configure from scratch.

1. From your homepage, click New Project
2. Enter a name for the Project
3. Click the next arrow

Your Project will be created, and you will be taken to the View Editor for your first Table. You can name the Table and start adding Fields.

Creating a Project from a Template

Rather than starting from scratch, you can create a Project using one of the Gridfox templates.

1. From your homepage, click Explore Templates
2. Find the template you need in the template library
3. Click Start with this template
4. Enter a name for the Project
5. Click the next arrow

A copy of the template will be created in your account. You can then customise and configure the template right away by changing Fields, amending Views or adding Workflows.

If you want to remove all the data in the template, you can delete all the Records at the same time.

Creating a Project from your existing Data

If you have an existing spreadsheet or system that you would like to replace with a Gridfox Project, use the Import My Data button to get started. Our team will help you get up and running from your existing spreadsheet or system.

Uploading a Project Logo

To add your own branding and design to your Projects, you can upload a logo for each Project.

1. Within a Project, click Upload Logo in the top left hand corner
2. Choose your image
3. Adjust the size and placement of the image
4. Click Save

This logo will be shown to all Users in your Project.
