Editing Project Categories

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Project categories can be used to group similar projects together. They can be organized by office, client, year, etc. If the option to Use Project Storage is checked in Preferences the project databases will be stored in the folders specified for the project category. This can be used to store groups of projects in different folders, drives, computers, or networks.

 

The project categories and subcategories on the project tree on the sidebar can be edited by selecting Tools > Projects > Edit Project Tree. The Edit Project Tree Categories form will be displayed. This form displays the project categories and subcategories in tree consisting of nodes and sub-nodes.

 

There is a category called Data Specific that is used to store projects relating to specific type of data; such as, MEWS (Ontario Ministry of Environment Wastewater System). This category should not be edited.
