Open a Project
Directly from the Project Bin, users are able to open existing projects by clicking, Project Settings (1) and the "Open Project" (2) button. This will prompt the Open Project window, allowing users to search for projects (4) based on their title. Selecting a project (4) will allow the "Open" button (5) to be selected.
Please note whenever a project is opened a lock occurs that prevents other users from opening the same project.
Any of those interaction will open the “open project dialogue“ allowing the user to find a project from the central VidiCore repository. It is structured in 3 different areas

My Projects listing all projects the logged in user has created and therefor being owner of
Shared Projects listing projects that have been shared with the logged in user but where the user is not the owner of the project
Following figure gives an overview:
