# Projects ## What is a Project? A project is a way to organize image layers and the damage assessments conducted on them. It is a collection of imagery files, labels, training checkpoints, and inference results in various formats. For example, you can create a new project per disaster event. ## Create a new Project Project creation requires the following information: 1. **Name** – any suitable name for the project. 2. **Description** – any additional information about the project. 3. **Event Date** – the date that the disaster occurred. This date is stored for informational purposes and does not affect any processing. 4. **Affected Countries** – from the dropdown, select the country (or multiple countries) that were affected by the disaster. This data is stored for informational purposes and does not affect any downstream processing. 5. **Primary Classes** – these are the classes of labels that you will add to an image layer to help train the model. The classes of labels that the model needs to be trained on are: - Background - Buildings - Damaged Building These classes are provided by default on the project creation form. You can keep the default colors or change them to suit your needs. ## Edit a Project You can update the name and description for a project after it was created from the Projects page. ## Delete a Project You can delete a project using the ellipsis menu on the Projects page. Deleting a project will delete all associated artifacts such as image layers, labels, and training results.
