Managing Projects
Managing Projects
Projects are the primary organizational unit in FortWatch. They allow you to group related assets together for easier management and reporting.
Creating a Project
- Navigate to Projects from the sidebar.
- Click New Project.
- Enter a descriptive project name.
- Choose a color — this color-codes the project icon throughout the interface for quick visual identification.
- Click Create.
How to Organize Projects
There is no single right way to structure your projects. Common approaches include:
- By environment — Separate projects for Production, Staging, and Development.
- By product — One project per product or service your company operates.
- By team — Projects mapped to the teams responsible for the infrastructure.
- By client — If you manage infrastructure for multiple clients, one project per client.
Project Dashboard
Each project has its own overview page showing:
- Total number of assets and their statuses
- Severity breakdown of issues across all assets in the project
- Recent scan activity for the project
- A list of all assets with quick access to scan and issue details
Editing and Deleting Projects
You can rename a project or change its color at any time from the project settings. Deleting a project will also remove all assets and their associated scan history, findings, and issues. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
