5. Export a local project as a file
7. Upload a local project to the server
As soon as a user has logged in to the application, the Open Project page appears. Here the user can first differentiate between the tabs Local projects and Server projects.
The overview of local projects includes columns for Project Names, last Modification Date and a further Description.
It also lists the number of alternatives in a project. The buttons Upload and More Options on the right edge of an entry lead to a project upload as well as further editing and administration steps.
Figure 1 shows the overview of locally created projects. If the user has not yet created a project, the list is empty.
Figure 1 - Overview local projects
If the list of local projects becomes more extensive, the displayed entries can also be restricted by means of selectable filters (for each individual column) (see Figure 2).
In addition, the local overview is restricted to projects of the logged-in user, i.e. if several users work on one computer, a personalized view is guaranteed.

By clicking on the button New project a new local project can be created.
This opens a new window in which either a new project can be created (see Figure 3), or an existing one can be imported (see Figure 5). To create a new project, a project name must be assigned first.
This field must be filled out. The remaining field Description is to be filled optionally.
By setting a check mark in the Create Example Value Stream field, an example value stream is created automatically when creating the new project, which can be called up via the menu item Modeling.
By clicking on the button Create project the creation of the project is completed.
As a result, the view with the current logic automatically switches to the modeling interface and not to the local project overview. Also when importing, the view automatically changes to the first alternative of a project.

Figure 4 - Import via drag & drop
In order to import an existing project, it must first be selected via the Select file button. Alternatively, the project file can be dragged directly to the Project name line
|
Note: Only files with the extension *.simvsm can be imported. |
Then, just as when creating a new project, a project name must be assigned. If a local project with the same name already exists, the name must be changed in the Project Name field (see Figure 5).
By clicking the button Import project the creation of the project can be completed. This automatically changes the view back to the project overview.
The button More Options |
|
can be used to call the context menu for each local project. Form here the project can be edited by clicking on the Edit button. |
This opens a new window in which the project properties (Project Name and Description) can be edited.
The button More Options |
|
can be used to call the context menu for each local project. Form here the project can be duplicated by clicking on the Duplicate button. |
This opens a dialog where the name of the duplicated project and the alternatives (if available) to be duplicated can be edited.

5. Export local project as a file
The button More Options |
|
can be used to call the context menu for each local project. Form here the project can be exported by clicking on the Export button. |
When exporting a project the dialog from figure 7 opens. Here you must define what is to be exported, whereby at least one entry must be selected. Optionally, you can also export photos that have been taken using this dialog.
By confirming the dialog (click on export), the Windows Explorer opens in which the path can be selected. The project is then saved as a *.simvsm file under the selected path and can be exchanged or archived offline, for example.

The button More Options |

can be used to call the context menu for each local project. Form here the project can be deleted by clicking on the Delete button. |
When deleting a project, the following note is also displayed (see Figure 9):

7. Upload a local project to the server
By clicking on the Upload button |
|
the respective project can be uploaded to the server. The project is then available in the Server Projects tab. |
|
Note: Each local project has its own ownership or ownership rights. This ownership is also stored when uploading a project to the project server. This authorizes only the user to manage shares, remove, or override the server project. If a project (or its unique project ID) is already contained on the server, an appropriate security prompt appears before overwriting. |
