About Projects
Wise Package Studio is project-oriented. A project defines the job you need to
accomplish. (Example: repackaging an application.) Each project lets you record
information about that job, including where project files are stored and what the project
files are named. This provides greater control over the project files and simplifies the job
for users.
Project creation
Use Project Setup to create a project for each new job. When you create a project, you
enter information about the project and specify where project files are stored and how
project files are named. With Enterprise Management Server, Security Setup determines
whether you have access to Project Setup.

Project editing
The predefined projects cannot be edited.
With Enterprise Management Server, each project has an owner. The owner can be a
user, a group, or none. When you assign an owner to a project, you limit who can edit
the project.
Project process
In the Professional Edition, a project can be associated with a process. A process is a
series of tasks that, when completed, result in a repackaged software installation. Using
a process provides consistency in your repackaging and ensures that the project is
performed according to corporate standards. When you create a project and assign a
process to it, a copy of the original process template is stored with the project. You can
change the process within a specific project without changing the original process
template.

With Enterprise Management Server, you can create a project that uses a process from
an external database. If the external process uses any user-defined Workbench tools or
