Creating a New Project

When you create a new Catena project, a series of files and folders are created to store project data.  For use by a single user, a project can be created on a local computer hard-drive.  However, if you wish to access the data from multiple workstations, it is recommended that you create the project on a Windows Network shared drive mapped to a common drive letter.

To set-up your project data files and folders, perform the following steps.

1    Start Catena by double clicking on the desktop icon or selecting Start | Program Files | Catena | Catena from the start menu.

4    Click Save.  This will create a folder in the location with the name of your Project.  Inside this folder will be your Catena data file (.CNA) and a set of ToolKit folders for other project data.
