# system.project.getProjectName

> Returns the name of the project where the function was called from.

This function is used in **Python Scripting**.

## Description
Returns the name of the project where the function was called from. When called from the Gateway scope from a resource that originates from a singular project (reports, SFCs, etc.), will return that resources project. Resources that run in the Gateway scope, but are configured in a singular project (such as a report), will use that project's name. 

When called from a scope that does not have an associated project (a Tag Event Script), the function will return the name of the Gateway scripting project. If a Gateway scripting project has not been configured, then returns an empty string. 

## Client Permission Restrictions
This scripting function has no [Client Permission](ignition-modules\vision\vision-project-properties\vision-project-properties.md#vision-permissions-properties) restrictions.
