# Creating a project from Site Management

After successfully signing into Site Management, the project view has a new button "**+ New project**".

The appearance may vary between ACC and Trimble Connect versions, due to the differences in these systems. Also the project creation dialog varies, because different information is needed for the two platforms. Both of the dialogs will be introduced in the next chapters.

### Autodesk Construction cloud

Click "**+New project**" button and a creation dialog opens. It contains the following information:

**Mandatory Information:**

* Name
* Type

**Optional information:**

* Project template
* Coordinate reference system
  * Configuration file is automatically created, based on the CRS
  * Strongly suggested to fill in
* Thumbnail image
* Start date
* End date
* Value and the currency

Information can be added or edited later on, but it is done via ACC.&#x20;

Please note that user must have certain rights to be able to create a project.&#x20;

### Trimble Connect

Click "**+New project**" button and a creation dialog opens. It contains the following information:

**Mandatory Information:**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.besmart.software/be.smart-site-management/getting-started/project-set-up-in-site-management/creating-a-project-from-site-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
