How to Add Projects With Group Functionality

How to add a project that serves as the front page of a group.

You may add a group with a forward facing project anywhere in the site. To add a group that contains a project, please do the following:

Create a Group

Add a Workspace Folder

Add a Project

Set the Project as Your Group's Home Page

Create a Group

Add a group under one of the tabs by following the instructions outlined here. Add the usual portlets, and request any additional portlets from the portal administrator.

Add a Workspace Folder to Your Group

Unlike traditional groups, groups with forward facing projects require an additional folder for the group to work in.

1. Add a folder in your group folder titled Workspace.

2. To the Workspace folder, add the Calendar folder with the Events Inbox folder and collections (Calendar, Next 30 Days, List View).

3. Add a front page collection to your Workspace folder as detailed here.

Add a Project Content Type to Your Group

1. Add a Project content type to your group folder from the Add new drop down menu. Select the necessary criteria that describes your project and click Save.
