Create a project

Project creation is permission based:

To create a project, your account must have the following role enabled:

  • Role: Company Admin, Company Manager

  • Custom role with: Project management - Full access, Manage projects and funding sources

In Wrapbook, a Project is a container for managing the finances, worker payments, and startwork documents for an individual production. For example, a project could be for a specific movie, show, commercial, music video, or short that your company produces.

There are two ways to create a project in Wrapbook:

  1. Create a new project

  2. Duplicate an existing project

In this guide, we’ll cover the steps for creating a new project. To learn how to duplicate an existing project from the All projects dashboard, see Duplicate a project.

After you create a new project, you’ll be guided through eight setup steps where you’ll configure the company’s settings. You don’t have to enter all the information in one session. Once you add the Project details in the first step, you’ll be able to save the project as a Draft and return to it when you are ready to enter the rest of the information.
