5. Create a Project

Projects are a useful way to organize initiatives by their scope which is typically based on the organization or portion of the organization they are representing

Project attributes include Region & Country, Scope (entire company or division), Industry & sub-industry, Revenue, number of Employees, currency and Valid date range for data

All surveys under the same Project share these attributes

If project level info. is changed, you must re-save any surveys within that project so any KPIs that depend on the “Revenue” value, you enter when creating a project, can be re-calculated
