The Project Explorer window

The Rule Project you just created is now listed in the Project Explorer window in Corticon Studio.
The Project Explorer window provides a convenient way of navigating between your Corticon Studio files, including Vocabularies, Rulesheets, Ruleflows, and Ruletests. Double-clicking on a highlighted file in the list shown in the Project Explorer window below will cause the file to open and become the active window in Corticon Studio. Our new Example_Project, shown below, is empty, so there are no files available to open yet.

Project Menu

As Rule Projects do not have an editor, their project-level actions are appended to the standard Project menu to apply to the currently selected project. The actions accessed on the Project menu are standard Eclipse functions, except the following:
*Package and Deploy Decision Services - Enables quick deployment of a Ruleflow as a Decision Service to a Corticon Server. For details, see the topic Using Studio to compile and deploy Decision Services
*Download Decision Services - Enables retrieval of selected project assets from a Corticon Server. For details, see the topic Downloading a Project from a deployed Decision Service.
*Upgrade Rule Assets - Opens the Upgrade Corticon Assets dialog. For a discussion of this feature, see Upgrade projects coming forward from a prior release.
*Create Execution Recording Schema - Opens the dialog for defining the database connection parameters and to copy the properties including encrypted credentials for inclusion in a server's brms.properties file. See Implementing Rule Execution Recording in a database.
These commands are also accessible on the dropdown menu that opens when you right-click on a project, as shown in this excerpted image where the intent is to package and deploy selected Ruleflows that are in the Life Insurance project:
