# Create Project

You need to create a project in Creators Studio, where you will elaborate on your application. There are several ways to do this.

### **1. Create a Project from Another Service**

Every Aitheon service has an **AUTOMATION** button and **Dashboard** area to make and place an application there. You may create a project and get to Creators Studio from some specific pages of Aitheon services.

For example, open your Smart Infrastructure service and click one of the infrastructures.

On a dashboard, click **CREATE DASHBOARD APP (1)** (or  **NEW AUTOMATION NODE** in **AUTOMATION** **(2)**)and a window will pop up:

Click **Create New Dashboard Application** and **CONTINUE**. 

Then give your dashboard application a name, choose **Codeless Experience,** and click **CONTINUE***:*

After the "Coffee page," Creators Studio will open.  

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MQqbV-8qzIoCIA9TxDe%2F-MQqdHnIH_VusG_FHhvk%2Fcoffee.png?alt=media\&token=eded77d6-2d74-4fdd-b42f-718c087a5e00)

If your browser blocks pop-ups, you will see a page with the notification:

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MKFTrKrSz9bfBgCImRO%2F-MKFVaQOo4N49BAkBFrl%2Fpopupblock.png?alt=media\&token=9c7cb01c-a127-419e-96db-b18421431f9b)

In Chrome, click the browser\`s notification **(1)** and choose Always allow pop-ups **(2)**. Then click **OPEN IN NEW TAB (3),** and Creators Studio will open. 

You can also click the **AUTOMATION** button on the Dashboard tab and then click **NEW AUTOMATION NODE** on the Automation Page. The same steps will follow.

### 2. Open Creators Studio

Also, you can create an application from the Creators Studio interface directly.

Open Creators Studio from the top-left **GO TO DASHBOARD** menu on the Aitheon platform (you can open it from the left quick-access panel or main dashboard as well) **(1)**: 

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MJCAVyWbCXhOV32wf5o%2F-MJCFPG2LbAlkD6fWSKf%2Fcs%20open.png?alt=media\&token=a5272991-7266-4067-934a-00dca0a07797)

A window with your existing projects will appear. Maybe there are no projects yet. Click **+ New Project** to make one**.**

### **3.  Set New Project Parameters** 

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MQqfH3o8CWrDN_qaIbZ%2F-MQqfj2P4pqscu6FWG9a%2Fnewpr.png?alt=media\&token=98b54205-dcc5-4727-aafd-348456bed9b7)

In the **New Project** window, choose a type. The only type available for codeless composing is **App** **(1)**.

Give your **Project** a **Name** **(2)**. You can use it as the app\`s name later.

Select runtime **(3)**. **AOS** means that your app will run on a local device, **AOS Cloud** – on the cloud. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If a device has its own computing capabilities, maybe you want to deploy the application to AOS. Otherwise, the program should be executing on the cloud. 
{% endhint %}

Choose **App type** **(4)**. Don\`t be confused: project type **App** has three own types (or sub-types):

* [**Application**](/creators-studio/main-elements/projects.md#application) - choose to make an app that defines a device's work and allows a user to manage it with UI. Usual runtime: AOS.
* [**Dashboard**](/creators-studio/main-elements/projects.md#dashboard) - choose to make an app that shows ongoing information for some processes. Usual runtime: AOS Cloud.
* [**Automation**](/creators-studio/main-elements/projects.md#automation) - choose to make an automation flow with some services and devices. Usual runtime: AOS Cloud.

{% hint style="info" %}
Different app types have different sets of components to use. Learn more about apps' types in [**App Projects**](/creators-studio/main-elements/projects.md).
{% endhint %}

Type reasonable descriptions of a purpose and functions to the **Project summary** field (**5**).

Click **CREATE** and add a description for your project. Then click **CREATE**. Now your project will appear: 

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MJCYtNMas4dcT6BOYIG%2F-MJC_Xe4KqvqLFT-x_VW%2Fone%20pr.png?alt=media\&token=e53a3251-620d-4b67-88be-1d5069e85083)

### 4. Choose Sandbox

When you click on your new project, a window with a sandboxes choice pops up: 

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MJCYtNMas4dcT6BOYIG%2F-MJCb-sBiL18GC7zfZmZ%2Fsandbox.png?alt=media\&token=62eed541-9a3d-493d-a9c6-cd2fdb911208)

A sandbox will be that virtual place where you will compose and test your app before releasing it.

Depending on your app\`s complexity, you will need a more or less powerful sandbox for smooth running. Be aware of the cost you pay for using it.

Choose a sandbox type and click **CONTINUE**.

Wait for a little with Coffee-cup Page: 

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MJQegIIHJdTJZm_j7LB%2F-MJQfFraipPgQDVjOHKF%2Fcofee.png?alt=media\&token=cfc192fe-ccfa-4bbf-944c-a7cd4df0e6c3)

And Creators Studio will open in a new window.

### 5. In Composing Environment

In a Visual Code Studio window, click the **{} ....json** file to open a workspace for the app\`s visual composing: 

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MJCc8umcSFcH7Z9ekEa%2F-MJCdAL_t9V6TeCQvOS5%2Fvscode.png?alt=media\&token=124b7096-26f8-4dfa-b146-2a2a524e23a0)

A workspace with Node-RED interface (visual flows editor) will be loaded:  

![](https://3983587133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LvAp4NFmv7Cj5kJvKjw%2F-MLwG8HV-0K4s1R4auRW%2F-MLwGfOGBPWs-Bm326vH%2Feditor.png?alt=media\&token=3f4b387c-0c02-4004-8feb-5ca98ac857f6)

Now you can develop an app codeless.
