In this article we will see how to create a new blank project and open it in the GenMyModel Editor.


Create a New Project

Step 2 - Creation Method


In this article we are focused on a blank project creation, so press on Blank Project.



Step 3 - Project Data


Tape your project name with at least 4 characters and containing only: letters, numbers, '-' and '.' symbols. The space character isn't accepted.

  • Private - private projects are visible only to administrators and collaborators
  • Organization (option visible only with TEAM/ENTERPRISE plans) - projects are accessible to all the organization members in Read-Only mode


And press the  Create  button.
