Creating a Project

When you create a new project, you must specify a folder to hold the project file. This folder must already exist somewhere on your computer. If the existing folder has files and subfolders, you can add them to the project.

To create a new project:

1. Click the Projects tab at bottom of the Resources window.
2. Click the New Project icon at the top of the tab.
3. Make the following entries in the New Project dialog.
   • Project Name -- A descriptive name to display in the Projects list.
   • Location of project file -- Enter the path to folder in which you want the project control file (apf) created. This is usually the project root folder.
   • Select the Add all subfolders option to include all folders below the project root.
   • Files types -- You can accept the default All files or, if you want to limit the files that are included in your project to certain types, open the drop-down list and select the file types that you want to include. Alternatively, you can enter the file extensions for the types you want included, separated by a semicolon.
4. Click OK to create the project structure and the project control file.
