Any number of organizations can be created for a customer but based on the type of organization they might have different types of projects in them.

This article contains information about the following topics:

An ongoing construction project can be part of an active projects organization.

For each organization a plan can be configured.
Those that are responsible for the administration of Catenda within an organization can be set as owner of the organization.
Organization owners can be given access to creating projects by configuring a plan with a project limit for the organization.

The following enterprise plans are available:

With this plan there can be up to a set number of projects at a time.

The types of projects in this organization depends on the size of each of the projects.

Similarly sized projects are grouped together in the same organization.

Any amount of projects can be created in this type of organization.

For security reasons a project limit that is higher than what is likely to be attainable is often set for these kinds of oganizations.

Transfer projects to an inactive projects organization to free up a spot in the active projects organization.

Activity by project members in these types of projects is monitored.

If more member project activity is noticed than expected for an inactive project the project will be counted as an active project.

Theoretically it is therefore possible to have any amount of members in project in this kind of organization but it is recommended to prune the members list.

The organization tool is often used to remove all members except the main members that are responsible for the project and organization administrators.

A typical project in this organization is a halted project.

Projects can halt for many reasons, for example when a construction projects runs out of budget or when resources need to be reallocated to other projects.

Other use cases for this type of organization can include projects that are no longer in use but that people want to keep around for just a little longer.

A reason to keep a project on Catenda could be that the project has ended but there has not been time to export all information yet either because there has not been time or because there is no archiving solution in place yet.

Archive

Unlike other solutions that are specifically directed towards archiving information longterm, Catenda is meant to be used for active collaboration.
In some countries, by law, as soon as the project is finished Catenda is required to delete the data.
In situations where it is not required that the project is to be deleted projects might want to be kept around for longer.

Projects are then often moved to an archive organization.

An admin organization is created as soon as the first test project is created.

When an enterprise agreement is entered an admin organization is created if there is none yet.

If there are questions that arise at any point during the customer journey a separate organization called admin is created with a limited time test project.
In this project new features that are not available to all users yet are enabled for testing.

Each admin organization typically includes a template project.

After the first few projects have individually been configured a template project is often created in the admin organization by Catenda.

In this project, typical project configurations are created so the project can be used as a template project in the creation of new proejcts.

Typical project configurations can include:

Named, empty models on the models page.

Topic boards with configured settings like statuses, types and custom fields.

Documents page with folder structure and folder configuration with custom fields and naming convention.

Access control can be configured for all of these to be used in the new project.

Project settings like custom fields and naming conventions.

Administrative projects are often created in this organization for internal communication and for discussing about conversations with Catenda.

These types of projects typically do not have an expiration date.

Test projects are often created or re-opened in this organization as long as they are not used for real construction projects.

These projects often receive an expiration date so Catenda can be tested without messing up the active project.

Projects that were used during previous testing phases can often be found in this organization.

These projects are typically projects like:

Educational projects

Test projects

Sandbox projects

Sample projects can include projects that are concluded and were properly configured. Examplary projects are often moved to the admin organization as a way to show people what a real project could be like.
