Creating Projects
There are two ways to create a new project in LostPlot - creating a new project, and updating an existing project which has not yet been saved.
Create Project
In order to add a new project, click the [Create] toolbar button. A dialog is displayed showing all of the existing project names in your collection, along with a field into which you can enter the new project name.
After entering an appropriate name, click the [Create] button to create the empty project in the database.
Update Project
An alternate method of creating a new project is to edit the empty LostPlot environment when initially logging into the application. Add as many Index Cards as required then click the [Update] toolbar button.
Prior to updating the database, LostPlot will prompt for a new project name.
It is strongly advised that you create a project using the [Create] toolbar button prior to adding Index Cards, as the project can then be configured to auto-save changes as they are entered. Until the project has been saved at least once, the auto-save features are unable to operate leaving you open to data loss in the case of internet connection failure.
