To Use Projects

Use projects to process measurements that are performed in one area of interest to determine specific real-world objects. Each project can use its own field code list that maps the field codes to the database feature classes. A project consists of one or more calculation projects. Also, if you work with different field code lists, you must create a project for each field code list. For example, if you process data from different contractors that use different field codes, you create a project for each contractor.
