    From the Project Panel in Configuration Hub, you can start and stop projects using the ellipsis (…) button in Project name list.
  - Add a New Project
    Use the following steps if you want to add a new project to your node.
  - Add an Existing Project
    Use the following steps if you want to add an existing project from another folder to Configuration Hub. Configuration Hub will recognize the new project after this is done.
  - General Settings
    The General settings allow you to define configuration options that apply to the node you want to configure. You can specify the SCADA or View node preference, the node name, the logical name, and the local node alias.
  - Startup Options
    The Startup Options let you define the initial settings you want to use when iFIX starts in run mode.
  - Startup Schedules
    Startup Schedules can also be viewed from Configuration Hub. Startup Schedules display the schedules configured to automatically load in the background when the background task is started.

    SCADA Enhanced Failover settings can be configured and viewed from Configuration Hub. SCADA Enhanced Failover is the ability to define two SCADA nodes to function as one logical node. The logical node provides data and alarms to its clients even if one of the SCADA nodes becomes inoperable. When you start iFIX on both nodes, one SCADA will be your active node, and the other will be your standby node.
  - Task Configuration
    From the Task Configuration, you can manage the tasks for automatic start-up, and whether they start as normal tasks or in the background.
