I think the short answer to "can I do this outside a project" is "no".
We just have the one project, which we regularly clear all the new stuff out
of, purely for the purpose of being able to create new objects.
I'd be interested in a discussion with anyone who has found the project
concept to be a useful tool, as it does not fit with anything we do here,
and I don't know if I am missing something.
Regards,
Iain

Thank you for your response David. I was wondering if the steps above could be done OUTSIDE of a project? If not, we'll adjust. Thanks.

Hi Joanne, the way you create components in Uniface 10 is to drag a Component Template or Modeled Component (previously called component templates) into a project. Just click "Create project" in the Hamburger menu on the top right, or the link in the StartPage to create one.
Once you have dragged a component template to the project you can rename it by single clicking on it, then double click to open. The process for creating a component from a template in a project is essentially the same as creating an entity. Just scroll down if you you don't see the template you need (or filter) and be careful not to select a modeled component from the templates list if want to create a component rather than a "component template".
A project is essentially a collection of shortcuts or references to development objects - you can delete the project without deleting its contained objects, and you can add references to development objects in more than one project. I find projects useful to simplify working with a collection of objects (e.g. compile or export everything).
If you're new to Uniface 10 I recommend taking a look at the Course: What's New in Uniface 10 | Rocket Learn, especially the highlights video.
Kind Regards,

Subject: Creating a new entity without a project
I looked this up in the tutorials, but it only explains how to create an entity in a project. Since projects are new for us legacy users, how do I create an entity outside of a project? ( am trying to access the documentation website but right now having issues with my credentials).
Thanks!
