Unlike previous “file-based” versions of the Synthis Process Modeler, all of your “R4″ process model data is stored in an embedded database that comes packaged with our new “R4″ release.
This means that you no longer have to worry about saving and managing individual “.prj” files. Whenever you save your changes, they are automatically saved to the Process Modeler database. When you close a model, it simply moves to the “Closed Models” folder within the Process Modeler ‘Explorer Tree’.
If you want to open a closed model, find it in the ‘Explorer Tree’ and then either double-click to open it or right-click on the process model and select the ‘Open’ option within the context-sensitive right-click menu.
Save
To save changes to your process model, use the ‘File -> Save’ option or just click on the ‘Save’ button in the main toolbar.
Export
If you want export your process model to a “.prj” file to create an archive/backup copy of your process model, or to share your model with another Process modeler user, use the “File -> Export’ option. Similarly, you can use the ‘File -> Import’ option to import from any existing “.prj” file into your Process Modeler R4 database.
