About Personal Projects

A personal project is a private project for your own use. Only you and the administrators can view its contents. It includes notes, calendar, task, and documents functionality that are similar to a shared Collaboration project. You can use your personal project to store your own files, appointments, and to-do list. Rather than e-mailing files and reminders to yourself when you are away from the office, you can upload files, post notes, and reminders.

For step-by-step instructions on how to create personal projects, see Creating Personal Projects.

Note: Administrators have full control of your personal project, so they, too, can view, manage, and delete objects in your projects. They can also create a new public project based on your personal project.    

You can have a personal project only if your system administrators have enabled the feature; otherwise, the My Project button in the My Projects portlet, which launches your personal project, does not appear. You must also have the Own Collaboration Personal Project activity right.

Note: When performing portal searches, be aware that search results contain only items from your own personal project, and do not contain items from other users' personal projects.
