EPLAN Recommendations
EPLAN has supplied you with a project management database and activated it by default. We recommend the following:
- Use the standard project management database "$(MD_PROJECTS)\Projects.db" as an internal training and test database.
- Create a new database for your productive projects
Create a new database
- On the ribbon, select the File tab > Backstage Settings > Settings Users > Management > Project Management Database.
- For "EPLAN", select the + button (New). The "Create new EPLAN database" dialog opens.
- Now create your new project management database, assign a meaningful file name starting with your company ID (XYZ) e.B. "[XYZ]_Projects.*".
- Close the dialog with [Save].
- The newly created database is then entered as a project management database in the settings and is thus automatically selected.
- Finish your setting with [Apply] and [Ok].
Hint:
If you want to use SQL database technology, you can find more information about it in the "Additional information" > "Create a SQL database for project management" section.
