Creating Project

Create Project

A project is a container that isolates and secures the project information, allowing access only to authorized users. By design, an admin or owner of the organization must create a project so that the same can be used by members for pushing data to the platform.
NOTE:
Creating a project is a one-time activity. You can create only one project per organization.
When an organization is created in FactoryTalk Hub, a project is provisioned in FactoryTalk DataMosaix. When the user or an admin clicks FactoryTalk DataMosaix tile in FactoryTalk Hub for the first time, the initial setup window is displayed. In this window, the user should choose a cluster from the list of available clusters for creating a DataMosaix project.
NOTE:
By default, the cluster selection feature flag is turned off, allowing the user to view and use the default cluster (West Europe-1). To view all the supported cluster details, the cluster selection feature flag must be turned on.
The following table displays the supported cluster details with API URL:
