Creating your first project

Projects is where it all happens in Connie. Create a project for your productions, administrative docs, employment contracts etc.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Connie helps you stay organised by giving you two layers of structure for your contracts: Project Categories and Projects.

  • Project Categories are the broad areas of work (e.g. Film Productions, HR, Fundraising).

  • Projects live within these categories and hold all your documents: Anything from contracts, consent forms, and agreements. And you should create a project much like you would create a folder for a project on your computer.

This way, you can build a structure that fits your company's workflow and structure.

Here's how

Step 1: Go to Projects

You’ll find Projects in the menu on the left-hand side of your Connie dashboard.

Step 2: Create a New Project Category

  1. Click the Project Categories tab at the top of the page.

  2. Select Add Project Category.

  3. Enter a category name and description.

  4. Click Save.

Step 3: Return to the Projects Overview

Switch back by clicking the Projects tab at the top of the page.

Step 4: Create a New Project

Click Create New Project in the upper right corner.

Step 5: Fill in Your Project Details

  • Project Name – give your project a clear title.

  • Project Category – select the category you just created.

  • Project Description – add a short description.

  • Start and End Dates – optional.

  • Project Reference – optional, e.g. an internal project number.

  • Default Issuer – this is you by default, but you can assign another team member or issuing company if needed.

Step 6: Set Your Project Permissions

Decide who in your team can access this project:

  • Private to You – only you can see it.

  • Full Team Access – everyone on your team can access.

  • Private to Selected Members and Collaborators – hand-pick who gets access.

Step 7: Finalize

Click Create Project. 🎉

You’ve now set up your first project and can start adding your contracts and documents.
