2.0 - Projects
2.1 - Projects Overview
The PRIME Edge Console’s home screen displays a list of projects that have been uploaded to PRIME Edge. Projects contain all related assets (scenes, images, fonts, etc.) that have been uploaded to PRIME Edge. Projects also generate the unique URL that is required to deploy the PRIME Edge content. See Create Content for a list of supported assets, data bindings, etc.

2.2 - Filter, Sort and Navigate
2.3 - Filter, Sort and Navigate Overview
The PRIME Edge Console enables you to filter, sort and navigate content in a variety of ways, including:
﻿Search by Project Name﻿
﻿Sort by Project Name Ascending or Descending﻿
﻿Sort by Created Date Ascending or Descending﻿
﻿Navigate Pages﻿
﻿Set Number of Rows to Display per Page﻿
﻿
2.4 - Search by Project Name
Searching by Project name filters the table based on the characters entered into the search bar. Only projects matching the text display in the table. Sort by Project Name and Sort by Created Date honor the text entered in the search bar.
To perform a search:
Enter the search string in the Search field. The search returns any project(s) with a Project Name that contains the search string. The string is a single entity. As such, quotes and spaces are considered part of the search string. For example, the search string “Senate” may return a different result than the search string Senate, and baseball2022 would return a different result than baseball 2022.
