Project Name Does Not Appear in the Projects List

Hi,

I'm using GSA SER for the 1st time. The name of my new project does not appear in the Projects list even though I've filled in nearly all of the project's details and configuration. 

Does anyone know why this is, and how to get SER to enter the project name where it should be?

    I have had several issues with this software and I'm losing the will to live!

    the name of the project is usually asked at the end of defining the data. You get asked to name the project and usually it is the domain of the project url.

    I started up my GSA SER today and found there were several updates. So I wonder if one of them was to repair the issue with projects not being saved. When I started up SER I noted that it has not saved the project and so I have to create the project again. 

    There are quite a lot of things to set up in each project, so it takes quite a while to do, as it covers quite a lot of different things. This is actually about the 5th time I have done this without the project being saved. So if it was not part of the new updates then perhaps I can hope that it will be part of the next update.

    Having just started up the application, I can see that the save facility at the start of the project is still not implemented. So I'll just have to hope that by working on this in the evening I will not be taken away from my task by clients contacting me, and other stuff I need to attend to, which has been responsible for the unsaved previous project settings....

    Hi, Gordon. That sucks that you're having trouble. I don't know that I have an answer.
    I'm not sure if you have to register SER first, but I think probably not. Is yours registered?
    Do you have enough space on your hard drive?
    "the save facility at the start of the project is still not implemented"
    When you double-click a project name in the list, the pane that opens is the PROJECT DATA pop-up.
    At the bottom, choose OK and the data will save.
    "So I'll just have to hope that by working on this in the evening I will not be taken away from my task by clients contacting me, and other stuff I need to attend to, which has been responsible for the unsaved previous project settings.... "
    All you have to do is click OK. You can save frequently, even. Why lose work in the way you are?

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, it's registered. I have enough space. There is no list of project names. I have never been asked to enter a project name. "You can save frequently, even. Why lose work in the way you are?" I cannot save any data. Therefore I keep on having to enter the data again and again.

    OK; Search Engine Ranker opens, no? 
    You have the "new" "Edit" "Delete" "Start" and "Help" buttons top-right appearing?
    Click on new, or better yet, click on the right, where the down arrow is and select a name for your new project.

    I'm attaching two screenshots to show that the buttons are all there.

    But when I click on the down arrow in the New button it does not ask me to enter the project name. Instead it loads the "Project Data -NEW" window.

    So there is no opportunity to enter the name of the project. My very next activity would be to enter the URL of the target site/page.

    No intervening window appears for me to enter the project name. Is this meant to happen this way? Or not?

    From the descriptions I've heard, this is not what is meant to happen. What is meant to happen is for the user to enter the project name, but this does not happen.

    Thanks.

    Clicking on  the right of the New button does not bring up the project naming window. But I followed your example of right-clicking in the Where to Submit group and then typed in "placeholder.com" then clicking OK.

    And this time it worked, in that the project name window cam up and I was able to name it to the URL name entered previously.

    So thank you Backlinkaddict, you've solved the problem!

    Now I don't have to keep entering the same data all the time. I wish it was a bit easier than that, though!
    Thanked by 1Deeeeeeee
