The Project File

The project file contains all the textual input at each heading of that project, including pictures. The placement of this information within a survey report is directly dependent on the configuration file it was made with.

If you think of the textual input within a report as content then the configuration file is the container for that information.

The advantage to this relationship is two inspectors can have information located in different parts of a report but still share a project with each other and retain their preferred layouts. Similarly, it should be made clear that if one inspector creates a new heading with content that displays on their system, that same information will not be present on another computer without that same configuration file, as that container won’t exist.

Beside the content itself, the project file also contains any information that overrides the configuration file.
Any heading or section of the report can be renamed by right-clicking and selecting Override Configuration from the menu. For example, changing @Engines@ to @Engine@ will change that heading’s name for this project only, and this change is saved within the project file itself.
