Projects

Project files are special files created with Project Editor (or with Monarch) that have a .xprj or .dprj extension and which contain all of the information necessary to execute one or more Automator operations. Projects utilize text or database input, extract data from the input via Monarch model files, and export the extracted data to various file types (for e, XLS, PDF, MDB, TXT, HTML, XML, etc.).

Projects are a key component of processes as when you create a process in Automator, one of the key steps you perform is to assign a project (or projects) to it.

With Automator you can use an existing project file created with Monarch or you can create a new project file via the Project Editor.

All project files used in the system are displayed on the Projects page. To view this page, on the Navigation Tree, click Server Library and select Projects.

You can use the Projects page to do the following:

• Add an existing project file created with Monarch

• Edit a project file (name, revision, access rights)

• Open a project file in the Project Editor

• Delete a project file from the system

• Change a project file state
