To create a project in UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin

The New Project dialog opens.
3 From the Project Type list, select Analyze existing data.
4 Set these properties:
Name
Enter the project's name as you want it to appear in the project list. See Project names and IDs.

Description
(Optional.) Type a more detailed description of the project.
5 To do any of the following, click Advanced:

6 If you want to do any of the following, click Advanced. If not, click OK to create the project using the default settings, and then see Uploading data.
Setting advanced properties
To specify additional project details, select the Project tab.
1 If you do not like the Project ID that UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin has chosen, enter the name that you want to use as the basename for all files associated with this project. Click Check to verify that the name you have chosen is valid.
2 The Project Folder field allows you to group projects using characteristics of your choice. How you use this field depends on your permissions.
Everyone can choose an existing folder name to place the project in that folder, or <Top level> to create a project in the top level of the project hierarchy.
If you have permission to manage project folders, choose <Create new folder> to put the project in a new folder with a name of your choice.
The hierarchical project list is a display feature only. It does not create a hierarchical structure on the disk. All projects are created in your user folder, even if they are displayed as being in a folder in the project list.
To specify which roles are allowed to access the project, select the Permissions tab, and then select roles as appropriate.
3 Click OK, and then click OK again to create the project.
Uploading data
1 In Data Type, select the type of data you want to upload.
2 In File to upload, click Browse. Navigate to the folder that the data files are in, and then double-click the file you want to upload. When the upload is complete, the name of the file appears in the File(s) uploaded list.
You can upload only one file at a time, but after it has been uploaded, you can upload another one. If you upload a .zip file, UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin automatically unzips the file and deletes it when the upload is complete.
3 If you upload an .mdd file whose name is different from the project ID, you are asked whether you want to change the name of the .mdd file to match the project ID. Select Cancel.
4 To check that UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer can connect to the data files you have uploaded, click Test Connection. If the connection fails, use EditProject to change the connection properties: see Changing connection properties.
5 Click Finish.
This creates the project and adds it to the list of UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin projects.
