For each iFIX user type, you create a project. Before creating the project, however, you should plan the folder hierarchy. When you go to create a project, you will need to specify the paths for the following folders:
- LOCAL
- PDB
- PIC
- APP
- HTR
- HTRDATA
- ALM
- RCM
- RCC
For a description of what each of these folders contain, refer to the Planning SCU Directories section.
Each project can have its own set of these folders. For instance, if you have different groups of developers, you may want to create a separate directory that includes all of these folders for each developer's project, so that multiple developers can work on different types of projects at the same time.
Other projects may share some of these folders. For instance, you might only want to share the iFIX picture path in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Proficy\iFIX folder, but have all the other folders be project-specific.
NOTE: The Base and the Language folders should be the same for all users. These folders are not project-specific.
