What is a Project Start?

A Project Start represents the creation or activation of a Project in your ConstructionOnline Company Account. Each Company Account is limited to a specific number of Project Starts per subscription year, depending upon the company's subscription contract. Projects in ConstructionOnline can be created one of four ways:

1. A new Project is created from scratch.
2. A new Project is created from a Project Template.
3. An Opportunity is converted to a Project. 
4. An existing Project is duplicated to create a new Project. 

All four methods of creating a Project will result in a Project Start. This includes the creation of both "Live" and "Pending" Projects—a Project's Status has no impact on Project Starts. Additionally, a Project Start only counts against a Project once. Activating an archived Project will not count as another Project Start.
