The easiest way to navigate to an existing project is by using the project list located at the top left of every page in Continua, as shown in the image below. You can always check which project you are currently viewing by checking the project name that is displayed. Clicking on the projects name will take you to that project's homepage whilst clicking the dropdown arrow will allow you to select a different project. Once you have several projects in Continua, you can use this list to search for a certain project.
So lets select My First Project from the Project list. This will take us to My First Project's homepage which can be seen below. At the moment this page looks pretty empty and boring but that is because we have not created a configuration yet! A project's homepage shows all the configurations that exist in that project and their current build status. Until we create a configuration there is not much that can be done on this page, so lets create our first configuration.
...
The first thing you will probably notice about the Configuration Wizard is that it looks similar to the Project Wizard. The reason they look similar is that they share a lot of the same information and properties. Most settings that can be applied to a configuration can also be applied to a project, which means any configuration in that project can access those settings. For example, if you define a variable on a project, all configurations in that project can use that variable when running a build. Conversely, if that same variable was defined on a specific configuration rather then on the project, no other configurations would be able to access that variable or even know that it exists. Anyway, that is getting ahead of ourselves. For now, lets create a simple configuration.
So lets name our configuration so that it matches our first project and lets call it My First Configuration.
...
Once these values have been set, lets save our configuration. Like the Project Wizard, you can either Save & Complete Wizard or Save & Continue. For now we don't want to set any other properties on the Wizard so lets just Save & Complete the Wizard.
Configuration Saved Successfully!
Once you have saved your configuration you will be taken the the Configuration Homepage, as shown below. This page shows you all the recent build activity on this configuration and allows you to manually execute builds. We can run a build now by clicking the Play Arrow, however there isn't any point at the moment as we have not specified a build repository or any build actions.
Editing an Existing Configuration
...
So far we have learnt how to create and edit projects and configurations, however we still have not executed a build! In the next section of this tutorial, Part 3: Create your First Repository, we will hook our configuration up to a live repository and start playing with a real project.
