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 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 |
|
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 Project field, an example project is created automatically when creating the new project, which can be called up via the menu item Modeling.
By clicking on the button |
|
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 3 - Create a new project
In order to import an existing project, it must first be selected via the |
|
button. Alternatively, the project file can be dragged directly to the Project name line |
|
Note: Only files with the extension *.simpacsi can be imported. |
When a project file is imported by drag and drop, the view of the line changes as shown in the figures below.
Figure 4 - Import via drag and drop
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).

5. Export local project as a file
Via the button |
|
the context menu for each local project can be called up. From here you can export the respective project by clicking the |
|
button. |
When exporting a project the dialog from figure 12 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 *.simpacsi file under the selected path and can be exchanged or archived offline, for example.

The button |
|
can be used to call the context menu for each local project. From here the project can be deleted by clicking on the |
|
button. |
When deleting a project, the following note is also displayed (see Figure 14):

If this dialog is confirmed with Yes, the project will be deleted and cannot be restored anymore!
7. Upload a local project to the server
By clicking on the 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. |
