To add a project, click the Add button . A new subproject is added to the selected project and
the View Project screen appears. Here, you can change the name and enter further details of the
new project. If you want the new project to be a main project without any parent projects, change
its parent project to no parent project (see below for details) or you have to select the Default
Project before adding the new project. With the Default Project selected, new projects are always
added as a main project without parent projects.
Instead of adding a completely new project or subproject, you can also create new projects by
duplicating existing ones. For this, select the project that you want to duplicate and click the
Duplicate button . The newly created project has the same settings and properties as the original
project.
To delete a project, select it in the list and click the Delete button . If the project has subprojects,
they are also deleted.
Projects are stored on the SD card. If you remove the SD card from the scanner, the entire structure
of the currently selected project (all of its parent projects and their sub projects) as well as the
Default Project remain on the scanner. All other projects are removed from the list, but remain on
the SD card. If you insert a new SD card, the selected project, its parent and sub projects that are on
the scanner are saved to the new SD card as soon as you make changes to it or as soon as a scan is
started. If the new SD Card contains projects, they are added to the projects list.
Project Name The name of the project. Tap to change the name.
Parent Project The parent project of the displayed project. No Parent Project means that the
current project is a main project and not a subproject. Tap to change the parent project. A new
screen appears with a list of all available parent projects. Tap a project to select it. The selected
parent project is highlighted. The currently edited project becomes subproject of this project.
