Manage projects and FileMaker files

A project is a folder on disk that records which FileMaker files an agent may work with. This chapter covers creating one, connecting files, and the components ADT installs into a file.

Keep one project for files and Web Viewer apps that belong to the same body of work. The project holds editable source and connection metadata; your .fmp12 files remain separate and are changed only when you authorize the agent to work with them.

In this chapter
