      Create a new Project in Folktale

      A guide for Admins to create a new project within a workspace

      Overview

      What is a project?

      A Project in Folktale is a time-bound space for you to collect stories from your world.
      Projects allow you to group your story requests and contributions together in a way that will allow you to analyze and track progress. This might be based on a location, an initiative, an event, or a significant milestone.
       

      💡 To create a project, you must first create a workspace. Check Create a new workspace in Folktale to learn more.

       

      Step One: Add a project

      Once you sign in, click on your workspace name in the left navigation panel (on desktop) or press the menu button in the top left and press on your workspace name from the panel (on mobile devices).

      Next, click Add a project and you'll be taken to the Create your project page.

       If you don't have any project yet, you will see the Create project button on your screen.

      Step Two: Add details to your project

      Add your project name and a cover image to make it recognizable. You can also choose an icon and color that distinguishes it from other projects.


      Add a description and goal of your project to give helpful context to Insights Managers who will be overseeing the project. Define what you consider to be a successful outcome for this project.

      Additionally, you can add the target completion date if applicable. It is a useful way for Insights Managers to manage their active projects. It helps them to:

      • Ensure that story collection activities occur within a set time frame. This can be useful for those with time-sensitive reporting requirements.
      • Assist in managing a workspace’s active project limits.

      You can also change the settings for the automated captions by checking or unchecking the box next to Generate video caption files automatically in this project.

      By checking the box, you enable the system to automatically generate captions for all stories within the project. If you want to turn off this feature, uncheck the box.

      After reviewing the project details, click on Create this project to complete the process.
       

      Congratulations! Your project has been created successfully. Now, you can collect stories for this project by sending a Story Invitation or creating a Story Preset.
