Standalone
A Standalone
project, as opposed to Connected, provides a management of results from any source (i.e. custom build automation). It has no service connection and requires all spaces to be manually created.
Standalone projects require manual management of spaces.
To create a new project click the New Project
button at the top right of your organization's view.
Creating a new Project or editing the properties of an existing Project requires Administrator or Owner privileges. Also, note that a project's type cannot be changed.

Spaces
Spaces under standalone projects are manually created and can be updated or deleted at any time. They are used to collect and analyze data from any source (i.e. custom build automation). To create a new space, click on the New Space

Sandbox | When checked the space is categorized as a sandbox and is not listed in the top level organization dashboard. Sandbox spaces do not send email notifications and are excluded from contributing to the parent project's Insights. |
Copy settings from another space | On creation only, this allows you to copy settings from an existing "base" space. This includes metrics, badges, and thresholds. The prepopulated "base" content is given an auto-generated result name: [<number>]<base-space-name>#<base-result-set-name> |
Health Indicators | Edit Space dialog only. Allows you to specify a Publication deadline for results in days. Exceeding the deadline fails the space's health. A value of 0 disables the deadline (default). |
Sandbox
Sandbox spaces provide a fully-functional space that can be used for non-mainline tasks. They are used primarily for staging new tests, and for providing a sandbox when bug fixing or experimentation.
Sandbox spaces have the following attributes:
- Email notifications are never sent regardless of the space's settings
- These spaces are not shown in the
Organization
view - These spaces are shown only on their parent's
Project
view - They are excluded from project
Insights

Space Deletion
A deleted space can be restored up to thirty days after it has been deleted. When there are one or more restorable spaces there will be shown a special link below the Spaces Listing on contaning project's view.
Clicking on the Recover your deleted spaces
link will show a special view which lists the Project's deleted Spaces within the thirty-day window. To restore an individual space in this list, hover your mouse cursor over the right end of the row that lists the space of interest. (Names shown in this list have extra text appended to the original space name to ensure that all names in the list are unique.) A clickable circular arrow icon is shown.
Clicking the icon will restore the space. (The original unmangled space name will be given to the restored space unless another space in the project already has this name, in which case the restored space will be given the mangled name.)
