Projects help you organize business rules, business rule sequences, macros, and variables. For example, you might create a project that contains the business rules, sequences, macros, and variables that you work with most often. You might also group business rules into projects to help identify and manage individual business rules for each Essbase server.
Using descriptive names for your projects makes finding the business rules and other objects that belong to them easier. For example, you might group business rules in a project called “Yearly Budget,” “Three Year Plan,” or “Monthly Reporting.” Or if you create some business rules using the Formula Guide, you might create a project that you identify by the type of formula used, such as “Fixed Facilities/Lease Costs” or “Operating Expense Business Rule.”
