How to Create and Manage Projects
Organize your schematics by grouping them into projects for better management
What are Projects?
Projects help you organize related schematics together. For example, you might have one project for your battery charger design and another for your IoT sensor board. This keeps your dashboard clean and makes it easy to find specific analyses.
Your Default Project
When you first sign up, Schemalyzer automatically creates a default project called "Custom PCB". All your first schematics will be uploaded to this project.
Tip: You can rename this project later to match your actual project name.
Create a New Project
To create a new project, look for the project selector in the top navigation bar when you're on your dashboard. Click on it and select "+ New Project".
You'll be asked to provide:
- Project Name - Give your project a descriptive name (e.g., "Battery Charger v2")
- Description (optional) - Add notes about what this project is for
Switch Between Projects
To view schematics from a different project, use the project selector in the top navigation bar. Click it to see a dropdown list of all your projects.
When you select a project:
- Your dashboard will show only schematics from that project
- Any new schematics you upload will be added to the currently selected project
- The project name is displayed in the navigation bar so you always know where you are
Upload Schematics to a Project
Before uploading a schematic, make sure you've selected the correct project using the project selector. The schematic will be uploaded to whichever project is currently active.
Pro Tip: Always check which project is selected before uploading to avoid putting schematics in the wrong project.
Rename or Delete Projects
To manage your projects (rename, delete, or edit descriptions), click on the project selector and look for the "Manage Projects" option.
Warning: Deleting a project will also delete all schematics and analyses in that project. This action cannot be undone.
Best Practices
- Use descriptive project names that clearly identify what the project is about
- Keep related schematics (like different versions of the same board) in one project
- Create separate projects for different products or client work
- Add descriptions to projects so you remember what they're for later
