Creating a Scan Project

Figure 6-8 Projects List
This view shows a list of all available scan projects.
The „Default Project" is a standard project that may be selected when working in
no particular scan project. The „Default Project" is not deletable and you can not
change its name or parent project.
To add a project, click the add button on top of the projects list. A new
subproject will be 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, you have to 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 will always be 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 on the duplicate button on top of the list. 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 on the delete button. If the
project has subprojects, they will be deleted too.
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 will be removed from the list, but will be kept on the removed SD
card of course. If you insert a new SD card, the selected project, its parent and
sub projects that remained on the scanner will be saved to the new SD card as
