Projects
Projects are published to Qalyptus Server from Qalyptus Desktop. The Projects page provides a central view of all available projects and serves as the entry point for managing their content and associated tasks.
Projects List
The Projects page displays all projects published to Qalyptus Server. For each project, the following information is shown:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The project name as defined in Qalyptus Desktop |
| Description | An optional description of the project |
| Organization | The organization the project is assigned to, if any |
| Tasks | The number of tasks that use this project |
| Modified by | The user who last published or updated the project |
Viewing Project Details
Click on a project to open its detail view. The detail view contains three tabs:
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Connections | Lists all data connections defined in the project, along with their configuration details |
| Filters | Lists all filters defined in the project and their parameters |
| Reports | Lists all reports included in the project |
Exporting a Project
You can export a project to create a portable archive containing the project file and all its associated template files.
To export a project:
- Navigate to the projects page
- Click the Action menu
- Click Export
The export produces a .zip file containing:
- The project file (
.qtr) - All report template files
This is useful for:
- Collaboration: Share the project with other team members
- Migration: Import the project into a new Qalyptus Desktop installation
- Manual backup: Keep an offline copy of the project
Deleting a Project
To remove a project from Qalyptus Server:
- Navigate to the projects page
- Click the Action menu
- Click Delete
- Confirm the deletion
Deleting a project removes it from Qalyptus Server along with its template files and all its dependencies (reports, filters, conditions, and tasks). This action cannot be undone. Any tasks referencing the project will no longer be able to generate reports.
Updating a Project
Project content, including connections, filters, and reports, can only be modified in Qalyptus Desktop. Changes made in Qalyptus Desktop must be published back to Qalyptus Server to take effect.
To update an existing project:
- Open the project in Qalyptus Desktop
- Make the necessary changes
- Publish the project using the same project name as the existing one
Publishing with the same name updates the project in place, preserving existing task configurations.
