Dimensions CM provides two types of container for the files used in software development, projects and streams. You can set the following options in relation to them:
Both projects and streams are active: This means that users in the base database can create and work with both streams and projects and perform operations on the items contained within them.
Only projects are active: This means that users can only create projects and perform those operations available for projects. Any streams previously created in the database will not be visible.
