Purpose/Overview

The Project Creation feature in GIS allows users to define and register new projects within the system. This functionality ensures that all project-related activities, assets, and workflows are properly organized under a unique project record. It helps standardize project tracking, improves data consistency, and enables efficient management of project-specific operations.

This feature is primarily intended for administrators or authorized users responsible for setting up and managing projects within the GIS environment.
