Projects

In Coalesce, your work is organized into Projects. It's similar to a folder on your computer that helps organize your work. Projects can be organized by purpose, department, or business area.

In the following example of a Coalesce Organization that has 5 Projects, Data Foundations, Compliance, Campaign Analysis, Financial Analysis, and Revenue Operations.

Each Project in Coalesce is tied to a single git repository, which allows for easy version control and collaboration. Within a project, you can create one or multiple Development Workspaces, each with its own set of code and configurations.

Each project has its own set of deployable Environments, which can be used to test and deploy code changes to production.

Copying Objects​

As part of Projects, there is copy functionality than can make copying Nodes, Macros, Jobs, Subgraphs, and Storage Locations (excluding mappings) from one Workspace to another. Jobs and Subgraphs have their definition copied over, but the Nodes themselves will not be copied over. You can access it by clicking on the ellipsis next to an individual Workspace and follow the interface prompts from there. Learn more in When To Use Copy Objects, Duplicate, or Create New Project.
