Working with projects

Projects provide a way for you to group models together. When you open a project, you have access to all the models you have added to the project. In addition to models, you can attach documents of all types to your project. For example, you may want to include source data in Excel spreadsheets or project presentations generated in PowerPoint.

The project is saved as a text file with an .scgp extension. By default, projects are saved to the C:\Users\<username>\Documents\LLamasoft\Supply Chain Guru folder. You can set the Default Project Folder on the General tab in Application Settings.

You can use the Archiving feature to save the project and all associated models, project documents and data sources in a single archive file.

In the Projects area, you can view projects in List View or Card View .
