Projects and Studies

Analyses are organized into Projects; within each Project, different analyses are organized into Studies. Before running an analysis, you must create a Project in which to store the data.

Projects

A project is the highest level of organization in the project management scheme. All information contained in a project is stored in a single directory. You can import and analyze as many models as you wish in a project. Results in the same project can be compared with one another and also combined in a single report. The Project View pane contains the name of the project with the studies and reports that it contains.
