Project Tab

You can easily create a custom tab containing your projects.  If you have never created a custom tab, you should review the Tab Creation Instructions before creating the Project tab.

This tab provides quick access to your projects.  There are two ways to create the tab.  The first method can add your projects to the tab automatically, however all of the project files have to be located in one folder.  The second method allows you to list projects located in any number of folders, however you will have to add them to the tab.  Follow the instructions below, for the first method or the second method, to create the tab and list your projects.
