Fill in General information

Purpose

Fill in the project’s core data, so it’s easy to recognize and manage later, and understand what else the General information page is used for.

Prerequisites

You’ve created a project and are on its General information page.

Steps

1. Click Edit at the top of the page.
2. Fill in whichever fields are relevant to your project:
   • Project name (required)
   • Description
   • Status: Draft, Active or Archived
   • Project type: New construction or Renovation
   • Address, City, Country
   • LCA advisor
   • Regulation version
3. Click Save changes.

Result

The project’s core data now appears as badges at the top of the page (status, project type, regulation version, city), and feeds into the project list’s filters and search.

What else lives on this page

The page also has a History button, which opens the change history for the current version. It’s present consistently on every page of the project, not just here.

General information is also the project’s hub for versions:

• See all of the project’s versions, and which one is Active.
• Create a new empty version, or import one from .lb5, Konto JSON or a .lcabyg.json file.
• Copy, rename, export or delete a version.
• Select versions for comparison: two charts show climate impact and the biggest contributors (Hotspot) across the selected versions.
• Lock and archive a version (read more in the background article on the version lock: it creates a permanently locked copy and leaves the original untouched).
• Under each version’s ⋯ menu: update the building model from a file, extract the version’s constructions in bulk to a library, or export/import a quantity sheet to update quantities in bulk.
