About the Project Object Type

A project is an object type that your development team can use to help make sure only one developer works on an object at one time. A set of objects can reference a project according to a functional area. Every object in a repository references a project. You can check out and check in only the objects that you need. You are not required to check out and check in entire projects.

About Project Names

The project name describes the functional area of the objects that reference this project. For example, the Account project includes objects that Siebel CRM uses to manage accounts. A suffix at the end of the project name includes more information:

• Includes a suffix. The project includes objects that are specific to the Siebel application that the suffix describes. For example, the SSE suffix of the Account (SSE) project indicates that this project includes account objects that Siebel CRM uses for the Siebel Sales application (Siebel SalEs). The Account (SSV) project includes objects that Siebel CRM uses for Siebel Service (Siebel SerVice).
• Does not include a suffix. The project includes objects that multiple Siebel applications use (for example, the Account project).
