Using projects to organize your work

Projects are the primary Data Guru organization tool. Everything you do in the application, including workspace definition, the creation of data source connections, and building the workflows, macros, and actions that manipulate your data, is accomplished within a defined project.

When you open Data Guru for the first time, you must choose a project on the Startup screen.

You can:

• Create a new project with nothing in it
• Open an existing project
• Edit a project to change the default paths of its project files, or enable/disable use of special characters in column names
• Copy a template project to use as a new project

You can also choose whether to display this screen at startup (default) the next time you open the application.

When the project is open, you can edit it to change the default paths of its project files, or enable/disable use of special characters in column names. See Edit a project for more information.
