Deployments can be executed on many target groups and many environments. Each A ***project*** represents artifacts that can be built and deployed as a unit. Deployments can be executed on many target groups and many environments. Each ***project*** is mapped to exactly one build workflow and one deploy workflow. Each project is also mapped to one build target group, and one or more deploy target groups. At workflow execution time (build or deploy), the user selects one or more of the available target groups configured on the project, and an environment. You will create Projects for specific artifact(s). For example, SOA Suite composite, OSB Project, Java EE Archive (EAR), JAR File, Application server configuration files, EBS customizations, etc. will each represent a FlexDeploy project. Every project behaves differently due to its selection of build and deploy workflows. Build and deploy workflows are reusable which allows you to manage all artifacts of specific type in consistent manner. For example, you can create 10 Projects for 10 SOA Composites, all of which will use similar configuration except for the location of code in SCM and some properties on the deployment targets. Projects can be created to support Package-Based Deployments, which means that you can select a subset of artifact files for build and deploy operations. This is available for specific technology targets like EBS, Salesforce, Oracle Database, Oracle BI, Oracle MFT, Oracle Forms, etc. In other cases you will deploy all artifacts of the project as a single unit. FlexDeploy tracks artifact versioning in Package mode at the individual file level instead of considering the entire project as a single unit. Utility Projects are for adhoc script executions like starting and stopping servers. Utility projects do not have a build and deploy lifecycle and hence do not have versions. The Utility project needs a workflow and one or more target groups. Details are provided later in this section. > [!NOTE] > > Click on an existing project to open it. You can edit, copy or inactivate/activate existing projects. Projects can also be deleted, if they have not been built! /projects/all shows all of the projects that you have access to. ![image-20250627-143556.png](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/s5KJA2KdwTZ5hdNK/images/fd111/12590909512.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=s5KJA2KdwTZ5hdNK\&q=85\&s=a02fbff138d4ac26657e00aec3d9edfc) The **Favorites** tab shows the projects that you have chosen to like, keeping them on a short list to find again later. The **Recent** tab shows the last few projects that you have worked on so that you can get back to them quickly. # Viewing Folder Content The **All** tab for Projects and Releases lists out content by folder. When navigating from the Projects or Releases menu items, only items of the given type will be shown. To show both Projects and Releases, change the type filter to all ![image-20250627-144253.png](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/s0aZcWvz1eo3cr__/images/fd111/11653054472.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=s0aZcWvz1eo3cr__\&q=85\&s=f4175f7d5d87988080944943bbeae44c) . For quick filtering, use the main search field to filter by name, id, description, or tags. ![image-20250627-144342.png](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/11653120020.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=b8c826186b7e5536a930542aa0880a84) > [!TIP] > > To view who last updated each item and when, enabled the **Show Updated Info** option in the menu. > > ![image-20250627-144500.png](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/11653382149.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=f85a80c39d6bd11689536df9c7facd15) ## Saved Queries @Since 9.0.0.8 The :Filter:filter and :Sort:sort menus are available to manage and organize what content you’d like to see in the selected folder. The list is sorted alphabetically by default, with only active items. Available fields for sorting/filtering may change depending on whether you’re viewing Projects, Releases, or All content. Any Project-specific filters are discarded if the list is switched to show only Releases, and vice versa. Any applied filters and sorts can be saved in a saved query. Open the saved queries menu to view and manage any saved queries available for whichever type is being viewed. A badge will be shown on the menu button if a saved query is currently applied. Save and discard options will be shown if any changes are made to the active query. ![image-20250627-145159.png](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/11653545995.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=8a03bd512887976663a5b16924183672) Saved queries will save any filters and sorts applied to the page from the filter/sort menus. They will not save the current selected folder, the Show Inactive checkbox state, or whatever basic filter is applied on the main search filter. # Maintain Projects * [Creating Projects](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/creating-projects.md) * [Project Execution](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/project-execution.md) * [General Project Configuration](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/general-project-configuration.md) * [Project Packages](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/project-packages.md) * [File Catalog](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/file-catalog.md) * [Utility Project](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/utility-project.md) * [Configuring Containers](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/configuring-containers.md) * [SAP Change Requests](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/sap-change-requests.md) * [Salesforce](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/salesforce.md) * [Project Insights](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/project-insights.md) * [Project Commits](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/project-commits.md) * [Project Security](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/projects/project-security.md)
