Add team members
- This option is available only if you are subscribed to a Teams plan.
Pick a Name, add a Description, and Tags for your project and click Create.
- Tags will allow you to search for projects and quickly find them.
Voila! You have created a project.

A Data Exploration project contains packages necessary for statistical analysis and visualization of data. A Machine Learning project contains almost all data exploration packages plus machine learning

Launch Your Applications

Go to Home page to see your projects and click on the project you just created.

On project page, you will see your project's applications are Provisioning, throughout this process the applications are being deployed into the backend and a database is being assigned to your project.

When the provisioning is done, your applications can be Started, Launched and used.
