Set Default File Locations

Projects can contain a variety of files, including imported raw data files, a project file with edited data, and exported data files. One way to manage projects more easily and logically is to specify where each file is saved by default.

  1. When you install this software, a new folder is created with the same name as the product. The default path for the folder depends on your operating system:
    • In Windows 7 and Windows 8: C:\Users\(user_name)\My Documents\(product_name)\
    • In Windows 10: C:\Users\(user_name)\Documents\(product_name)\
  2. When you create a new project, and import or export data, a new folder called Unnamedis created in the (product_name) folder. If you create a project, but do not import or export data, the folder is not created.
  3. If you save the current project, the Unnamed folder is renamed to the project name, and the project file is created at the same level.

    Warning: If you do not save the current project, the Unnamed folder and subfolders will be discarded when you close the project.

  4. As you create and save additional projects, they and their subfolders are also saved at the same level, so you can easily find and open them.
