Project Editor Simplified Steps

The steps required to use the Project Editor feature (to apply a new cost and/or technical database to an existing project) are potentially a bit confusing so Ive summarised the steps below. Create a new procurement strategy or select an existing procurement strategy (must have an identical name and symbol for the currency as the original project file ) Make a copy of the original project file by saving as a new name (so you dont overwrite the original estimate) From the Tools menu select the Project editor option Select the new project file from the directory it was saved in and then click the Open button Browse to the new procurement strategy and then click the Open button Select Save Select Yes Select Close Select File, Open When asked if you want to save the current project select No Select File, Open to open the new project file (this will have the exact same technical definition as the original project but will use the new procurement strategy).

The section on the Help file (F1 key) on the Project Editor (see Tools, Project Editor) describes the procedure to follow in detail

Please note: the technical definition of the project remains the same as the original and all user revisions are retained.
