The project list displays all the projects that you can access using IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server Administration activities. These may be projects that you have created yourself or projects that others have created and that you have permission to use. If you create projects that only certain people may access (for example, people who work on the same client's projects) no one except those people will see those projects in their project list.
The project list may be a simple list of project names or it may be organized into a hierarchical structure in which similar or related projects are grouped within folders of by customer account. Folder creation and deletion is directly related to the creation and deletion of projects: you cannot create or delete empty folders. When you create a project, you can (if you have the appropriate permissions) create a new folder in which to place the project or you can place the project in an existing folder. When you delete projects in folders, Interviewer Server Administration automatically deletes the folder when you delete the last project from the folder.
The project list is sorted in alphabetical order, folders first, similar to Windows Explorer. If you sort the list by project status, projects are sorted by name within their status groups.
Note: The hierarchical project list is a display feature only. It does not create a hierarchical structure on the disk. All projects are created in the user's working folder (for example, in Users\ben\Projects) even if they are displayed as being in a folder in the project list.
The following permissions levels control how you can work with the project list:
• Users with no special permissions can create projects at the top level of the hierarchy or in an existing folder, but cannot rename projects, move them to different folders, or delete them.
• Users with "Can manage project folders" permission can create new folders when they create projects, can move projects into folders or from one folder to another, and can rename and delete project folders.
Your IBM® SPSS® Data Collection administrator will tell you what permissions you have.
