Create a project

After logging in, the Home page displays all of the projects you have permission to access. With the proper administrative permissions, you can create a new project as needed. You can set localization specifics, such as the project time zone to assist in local usage and default OCR language. For more information about time zone usage, refer to Time zone display. In addition, you can set multifactor authentication in the project, which provides evidence of the project user's identity beyond a password by confirming additional information.

You can also import templates and settings from an existing project. When you import settings, the copied project name is listed under Project Settings in Created From Project.
