3.2.1.5.2.1 File Menu

Access the Control4

Composer File menu from the menu bar on any Composer Pro screen.

From the File menu, you can perform project file management tasks:

1. Manage the project (clear, load, back up, etc.)

2. Connect to Director

3. Launch Interviewer Wizard

4. Refresh Composer Pro

5. Refresh the Navigators: Touch Screens, On-Screen, and Mini Touch Screen

The file management options apply to the files you back up on your computer called project files

(project name plus a .c4p extension). Project files are saved by default to the My Documents directory

under Control4/Projects.

When you set up a Control4 system, you create project configuration information. This is created live

on the Controller hardware, or backed up to a project file on a computer that lets you save specific

information about each system, including devices, connections, configuration, programming

information, and media. The project configuration is automatically stored on the Controller hardware to

which you are connected from your computer. Backing up the project lets you save a copy of the

project on your computer.
