# Creating a New Project

## Overview

The jobs you create in appRules are organized as specific projects.  Each project includes the workflow representation of the job, conditions, actions, activities and other definitions required to run the job.  Projects are stored in the project database.  They can also be copied from one project database to another.   appRules projects can be created, composed and orchestrated directly in appRules.

 In appRules, the terms project, workflow, job, etc. are used interchangeably.

**Description:** Enter an optional description for the project.

**Type:** Select the type of project - (parent or child workflow).  Child workflows can be called from a parent workflow.

Click the **OK** button to create the project and continue.

Once created, all definitions for the project will be associated with it and will be accessible from the Project Details page.&#x20;

You can start configuring activities or access the Project Details page to optionally define variables,  schedule jobs, etc. for the newly created project.
