Navigating the Project Browser Panel

The Project Browser panel is available from the Splashboard's Browse Projects button.

It is also available by selecting Open in the QuickLinks in the upper left corner of the authoring interface.

When the panel opens, it displays Recent Projects as its default.

If you are an Administrator you will see Recent Projects no matter who created them or who has most recently edited them.

If you are an Author you'll only see projects that you have created or that you've been assigned to work on.

If you are looking for a specific Project and don't see it displayed in the Recent list you can choose the Browse tab to access more options for finding Projects.

Browse allows you to view by:

• All Projects: This lists all Projects you have permission to access.
• My Creations: These are all the Projects you've created.
• My Favorites: These are the Projects you've marked as your favorites by selecting the Project from the list of Projects and clicking the little star near the title on the details that appear on the right of the browser. Regardless of how you filter the Projects list, your favorites will always appear at the top of the list.
• Assigned to Me: Will display all the Projects you are currently assigned to.
• Created by Authors I Follow: Will show only those projects created by the authors you follow. You can select the Authors I Follow text to list all projects by all of the authors you follow or select each author's avatar to see their specific projects.
• Team Creations: Will display all Projects created by your team (assuming you've been assigned to a team).
• Projects with Open Comments: Will show all projects that have outstanding reviewer notes.
• Custom: Lets you select a variety of filters to narrow down your search. You can save a custom view by naming it before applying it. Your saved views will be added to the list above. 

You can also use the Search field above the Projects list to narrow down results and/or sort the list by:

• Last Modified
• Date Created
• Title

The For Review tab lists Projects to which you have been assigned to review. 

The Collections tab lets you find Projects that have been assigned to Collections.

Administrators can define Collections for your site. 

Projects can be assigned to Collections on the Project Properties panel.

The Category tab lets you find Projects that have been assigned to Categories.

Administrators can define Categories for your site. 

Categories can have subcategories.  

Projects can be assigned to Categories on the Project Properties panel.

The Life Cycles tab helps you find Projects based on the Life Cycle they have been set to.

The filters list will only display Life Cycles that have Projects assigned to them.

When you select a project, its details will be shown in the right side of the panel.

The display shows:

• Project Title
• Project Description
• The unique Project ID number
• Review period information
• Collection and Lifecycle statuses if applicable
• Which authors and reviewers are assigned to the project
• Publishing information 

You can use the Open button in the lower right corner to open the project for editing. (You can also double-click the Project name in the list to open it for editing.)

You can preview the Project using the Preview button. This is helpful if you need to confirm you've selected the correct project.

It's also a great option to use if you've been asked to provide a review of a team mate's project, as the Preview provides all of the Reviewing features. It saves you opening the whole Project for editing.

The Actions option opens a menu with the following options:

• See Checklist displays the publish checklist for the project.
• Publish takes you to the publishing panel.
• Save as New allows you to make a copy of the project either as a Shared copy (sharing/re-using all Learning Objects across both the original and copied Project) or as a Duplicate (in which new copies of all content are created and the Learning Objects are no longer connected to their originals for updating).
• Duplicate for Translation opens the translation process.
• Assignments opens the Project Assignments panel to assign users or Teams to the Project.
• Delete allows you to delete the Project.

On the Project Browser and in other place like the Splashboard you'll see Projects can have red or blue squares.

Red means it's a Claro project, blue means it's a Flow Project.

The letters shown in the square indicate Project's Type. Often this is set as part of selecting a specific Theme or Player Experience, and it can also be set or changed on the Project Properties panel. 

For example, a C in the square indicates the Project's Type is set to Course while Vi in the square indicates the Project's Type is set to Video.

The squares will also often display an indicator "bubble" for the Project's review status. An example in this image is Annual Code of Conduct, which has an orange bubble on its square.

Here's what the indicator color coding means:

• Blue - A review period is set but has not yet started (i.e., post-dated review period)
• Orange - The Project is currently in a review period
• Red - The review period has finished
• Black - Project is locked

A Project with a carat in the lower right below its square icon indicates that it is a parent Project with translated child copies. An example in this image is the Project Active Listening. Clicking the Project's square icon will show the list of the child Projects that have been translated. 

The Project Browser's Browse tab has a filter option for Authors I Follow.

To follow an Author

• Select a Project they've created
• Select their avatar
• On the info panel that opens, select the star icon
• To unfollow an Author, deselect the star icon.
