Projects

Overview

Projects are the broadest organizational items in Scenario.

• Projects are only visible with a paid subscription

  • Scenario Starter allows you to create unlimited Projects

  • See Scenario account for more info

• Projects contain other items: Diagrams, Lists, Crew

• Projects have properties:

  • Name

  • Dates

  • Genres

  • Notes

• Projects can be shared with other Scenario accounts

• Use Keyboard Shortcuts to speed up your work

Managing Projects

Projects can be found in the “home” view of Scenario.

Use the filters and search features to find any Project.

• Status - filters Projects by different criteria

  • Active (default) - Projects that are not Archived

  • Future - end date is in the future

  • My Projects - created by you

  • Shared with me - not created by you

  • Archived - Projects that you have Archived

  • All Projects - no filters

  • Deleted - items deleted within the last 14 days

• Sort by - determine the order Projects are displayed

  • Name - alphabetical with A at the top

  • Start date - later dates at the top

  • Last edited (default) - edited most recently at the top

• Genres - choose multiple of all genres that are in use by your Projects

• Name - type to filter Projects by name

The bottom toolbar contains these functions:

• New Project → creates a new blank Project with one Diagram

• Duplicate → creates an exact copy of the selected Project and all its contents

• Archive → removes your Project from the “Active” status

  • Unarchive → moves your Project back to “Active” status

  • Note: archived Projects will not be deleted

• Delete → delete the selected Project

  • Note: you cannot delete the Demo Project from your account, but you can Archive it

• Undo/Redo → undo and redo changes to Projects

Info

The Info tab displays basic information about your Project

• Name - the displayed name

• Dates - the dates your Project runs

• Genre - what kind of Project this is (useful for organization and filtering)

• Notes - freeform text notes about your Project

• Copy Info → copies the above, as text, to your device’s clipboard (for sharing)

Project calendar sync

If you have a connected Google account (see Scenario account), you can sync your Projects to your Google Calendar.

• Go to Account > Connect and enable the option to “Sync Projects to calendar”

  • Customize the calendar name, if you want

  • Disabling sync will remove all synced Project events from the calendar, as well as the “Scenario” calendar (and any events that were added manually)

• Any Projects that have dates assigned will appear on your Google Calendar, and stay updated when you make changes

  • Changes usually sync within a few seconds, but may take longer with poor network connection or page caching (refreshing the calendar sometimes helps)

• Individual Project “sync to calendar” can be toggled off or on at any time

• Projects that others have shared with you will also sync

  • Each shared user has their own toggle to sync or not, because not everyone has a calendar connected

Diagrams & Lists

The Diagrams & Lists tab shows the items that belong to the Project. For more information on managing them, see Diagrams and Lists.

You can also add Folders to organize larger Projects.

• Drag Diagrams and Lists into Folders

• Sort Folders by Name (alphabetically) or Manual, which allows you to drag them into the order you prefer

  • A Folder must be collapsed to drag it and re-order

• Navigate items in your Project using the up and down arrow keys

• Use the right arrow key to expand a Folder, and left arrow to collapse it

• Hold Option or Alt and right or left arrow to expand or collapse all Folders in the Project

Crew

The Crew tab contains the people who will be working on the Project. For more info, see Crew.

Deleted items

When you delete a Project or any of its contents, this is not permanently removed, it’s “sent to the trash.” There are a couple ways to get it back:

• “Undo” deleting the item right after you do it

• Go to Projects view and change the status to Deleted, to see all the items you deleted in the past 14 days

In the “deleted” view, select the item you’d like to recover, select it, and choose “Restore”

• This will place the item back where it was originally (within its parent Project, if applicable)

• Restoring a Folder will restore all of its contents, unless they were already removed by:

  • Deleting the folder without its contents

  • Restoring the Folder’s contents without the Folder

• You cannot restore items that are inside a deleted Project (you must restore the whole Project)
