A project represents an initiative, product, or device-management grouping. A project can represent an industrial plant, for example. Litmus Edge Manager supports multiple projects within a company. Projects can isolate management for specific edge devices, collect data contained within the project, and assign user and team roles for data access. A project dashboard provides edge device status visibility. The combination of a company and a project defines a tenant in a multi-tenancy environment.

Once you configure a project, the project dashboard becomes the centralized overview of the project on a single page. It shows what services are active on the server side along with a statistical visualization of the messages, number of devices, and alerts. Various project settings can be accessed from the navigation panel at the left of the window.

You can add a project from the instructions listed here or from the *Projects* tab of [Company Settings](docId\:XwUuYveHjgIbb0bYwlwSt).

**To add a project from the Project List**:

1. Log in to Litmus Edge Manager.
2. Select a company.
   The *Projects* pane appears.
3. Click the **Create a project **box.
   The Create a project dialog box appears.

4. From the *Create a project* dialog box, enter the following details:
   - **Name**: The project name must be alphanumeric and cannot include spaces or special characters.
   - **Description**: (Optional) Enter a description for the project.
5. Click **Create**.
   The new project appears in the *Projects* pane.

If you click the new project, the Company drop-down list at the top of the window changes to reflect the project. For example, **Company-1/Project1**.
