Actions

Utilities Projects Requires: internet connection

Create, rename, remove, and refresh your team's online projects.

The Actions list on the right side of the Projects panel offers five actions for the currently selected project: Create Project, Rename Project, Remove Project, Refresh Project, and Show History.

Create Project

  1. The Projects panel with no project yet — shows None, and every action except Create Project... is grayed out. Click Create Project... in the Actions list on the right.

Rename Project and Refresh Project

Watch video walkthrough

  1. Click Rename Project... in the Actions list on the right. Since this affects every device and group in the project, a confirmation dialog opens first, asking you to type the project's current name to verify. The field starts out pre-filled with RENAME as a placeholder — that text won't verify on its own, so you'll need to clear it.

  2. Clear the field and type the project's current name — here, Demo — then click Ok.

  3. A second dialog opens for you to enter the new name. It's also pre-filled with RENAME, so clear it first.

  2. Since this permanently deletes the project, its groups, and all its devices, a confirmation dialog opens first, asking you to type the project's name to verify. The field starts out pre-filled with DELETE as a placeholder — that text won't verify on its own, so you'll need to clear it.

  3. Clear the field and type the project's actual name — here, Demo 5.0 — then click Ok.

  4. The project is deleted immediately — there's no further confirmation. The panel returns to None, and the Rename, Remove, Refresh, and Show History actions gray out again until you create or select another project.

Note: Only the project's owner can remove it, and this can't be undone — the project, its groups, and all its devices are gone for good.

Show History

  1. With a project selected, click Show History... in the Actions list on the right.

    The Show History... button
    The Show History... button

  2. Project History opens for the selected project, showing Use Search to View History. The Search dates start out as the past month, through tomorrow — change them if you need a different period. Click the search button.

  3. The changes made in that period are listed, each with its Event, Event Date and a Description of who did what. Here, the member added, changed and removed under Manage Members shows up as two Add Member events and a Remove Member. Click Return to go back to the Projects panel.

Note: Event Date is in UTC, not your PC's local time. The list isn't always in date order, so check Event Date to see the order things happened in.
Note: A role change is recorded as Add Member, with the new role — here, with role Administrator. A member added from the toolkit shows with role 0: no role is sent, so Spark gives them the default Member role.
Note: If a search finds nothing, the page shows Use Search to View History again.
