Create an OpenEdge Project page

The Create an OpenEdge Project page of the New OpenEdge Project wizard allows you to select the type of faceted project you want to create and set general options for it.

Note: The subsequent pages on the New OpenEdge Project wizard depend on the project type you select on this page.

It contains the following controls:

Project name Allows you to assign a name that is unique in the workspace to a folder that will contain project resources.
Note: Avoid changing the project name outside of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge (with Windows Explorer, for example). The project will become corrupted and you will be unable to reopen it.

To change the name after the project is created, choose the project name in the Project Explorer view and select File > Rename from the main menu bar.

Use default location Specifies that the project folder will be created in the default location, which is the top level of the workspace folder.
Location When Use default location is not selected, specifies the directory that will contain the project folder.
Project type configuration Allows you to select the project type you want to create. The default value is OpenEdge.
Next Shows the next page of the wizard based on the project type you select.
Finish Creates a project with the default configuration settings defined for the selected project type.

The Project type configuration drop-down menu provides the following options:

<custom> Creates a custom project that is a combination of different project types added to a single project.
Note: When you create a custom project type you must select the facets associated with the project on the Project Facets page.
