Projects on The Conservation Hub are where people engage and collaborate. To submit data or organise events, you need to create a project for users to join.

Creating a project (Admin only)

To get started with creating a project, follow these steps:

1. First log into the app and select a group.
2. Then, in the left sidebar, press Projects
3. Then, click on Create project in the top right of the page.
4. Fill out the fields on the screen:
   • Project name: This should be the name of your project.
   • Project tagline: This should a short description or mission statement for your project, e.g. "Helping to restore native habitats on the Tutukaka Coast"
   • Project category: Select the category that best describes your project.
   • Project tags: Select the tags which apply. These are used by users when searching for projects to join.
   • Tell us about your project: This is where you can provide more information about your project such as your goals, values, how you operate, your areas of interest, etc.
   • How users can help: This is where you can explain what you need help with, such as special skills, fitness requirements, and time committment.
   • Banner image: This will show as the thumbnail for your project. Upload a photo (ideally a landscape photo), or click one of the preset images below to use as your banner.
   • Location: Select the approximate location where this project focuses on.
   • Listed Contacts: If you would like to display people as point of contacts on your project page, add them here. If Show Email? if left unticked, people will contact the designated person using a contact form on the website.

   • Privacy Policy (Optional): If you have a privacy policy, add it here.

   • Listing: If you would like your project displayed on the website and mobile app, leave this checked. Otherwise if you would like to be hidden, uncheck this field. We recommend listing your project publicly so that you can find new users, and so that your current group members can easily find and request to join your project.
5. Once you have filled out all of the fields, click on Create project to finish creating your project. Remember to add people to your project to give them access, and add forms to your project.
