Project id

Enter a label for the new project, with an up to 16 character-long alphanumeric string. Some special characters are allowed in the label. In the label, the following characters are allowed:

• letters: a-z, A-Z
• numbers from 0-9
• special characters: underscore (_)

Name

You can type a descriptive name for the project in the text field. The name is not obligatory.

The program will populate the list with all ms_volume entries in the ../user/SETUP file that contain a sub folder named "projects” in their directory path. The default saving location is defined in the ../user/SETUP file under the keyword project_ms. The keyword value should be an ms_volume definition.
