Projects

A project is one business: its product, its customers, and the problem it solves. Its monitors, and the matches they find, belong to it.

Most people need one project. Add another for a second product or a client you work for, so each inbox stays about one business.

On SignalScout Cloud

A project is one monitor, made with it. Your plan sets how many projects you may have. See SignalScout Cloud.

Create a project

Open Projects, then New project. Give it a name, and answer three questions:

Question	Write	Example
What is the product?	What it is and what it does	A task tracker for small teams
Who is it for?	The team, role or kind of company that buys	Team leads at growing companies
What problem does it solve?	The problem, in the words a customer would post	Tasks get lost across chat, email, and spreadsheets

A sentence or two each is enough. Use your customers' words. SignalScout searches for the way people describe a problem, and people rarely use your product's vocabulary.

Start from your website

Open Start from a website or document. Enter your product's address and press Read this page, or add a text, Markdown or HTML file. SignalScout drafts the three answers. An answer the document did not support is marked as a guess, so check those first. Nothing is saved until you press Create project.

Edit a project

On the project's card, press Edit. A change applies to monitors you create after it. Each monitor keeps the copy of the answers it was made with, so an edit never changes a monitor that already works.

Delete a project

Press Delete on its card, then Yes, delete.

Deleting a project deletes its monitors

Its monitors go with it, and so do their matches and your verdicts on them. This cannot be undone. To stop collecting but keep the matches, pause the monitors instead.
