Using a project template, you can quickly create a project with predefined and populated artifacts, such as Git repositories and build jobs. When you create a project from a project template, the defined artifacts of the project template are copied to the new project. If you don’t want to use a copied artifact, you can delete it. Note that after you create a project from a template, updates made to the project template won’t be reflected in the project you created.

1. On the Organization page, click + Create.
2. In the New Project wizard's Project Details dialog:
   1. In Name and Description, enter a unique project name and a project description.
   2. In Security, select the project's privacy setting:
      • Select Private to restrict access to project members only.

        Select the Discoverable checkbox to allow organization members that aren't org admins or project members to see basic information, such as name and owner contact information, about your private project. Private projects that aren't discoverable won't be exposed to non-members.

      • Select Shared to make the project code, wiki docs, tasks, and builds available to anyone inside your organization.
   3. In Preferred Language, specify the language for email notifications that project users would receive.

      To change the language of the user interface, update the language in your account preferences.

3. Click Next.
4. In the Template dialog, select the project template and then click Next:
   • To create a project for a visual application, select the Visual Application template and follow the instructions in the next step.
   • To create a project from a private template, select Private Template, and follow the instructions in the next step.

   Note:

   To create a project for an extension, the recommended approach is to click the Edit Page in Visual Builder Studio link in the Oracle Cloud Application you are extending and follow the steps in the New App Extension wizard. See Create a Simple Extension. But if you don't want to configure an existing Oracle Cloud Application page, and instead would like to create your own application that lives as a peer alongside Oracle applications, you should create an empty project and manually set up the required artifacts. See Manually Create a Project for Extensions.
5. In the Project Properties dialog:
   • If you previously selected the Visual Application template, enter the Git Repository Name, select the Region and Compartment where your Visual Builder instance is (prepopulated based on your location), select the Development VB Instance and Visual Application template, and enter the Workspace Name and Working Branch Name.

      See What Are Project Memberships? for more information about each membership.
   3. Click Add.
   4. Repeat substeps a, b, and c for different users and groups with various membership types, if needed.
8. Click Finish.
