Projects contain the onscreen menus and macros needed to implement workflow tasks.
Projects are loaded into Flexi-deck, and the background process will show the menus on the desktop and run the macros as instructed
The Menu Editor is used to create the menus used in the project.
Project menus are shown on the desktop and menu buttons are associated with a macro, and when selected the macro will run.
Menu buttons can be used to load sub-menus, allowing for a hierarchy of menus to be used within a project.
Any number of project menus can be displayed on the desktop at the same time.
A project will normally contain an initial 'start' menu that is the first menu displayed to begin the workflow process.
Project menus can be invoked in a number of ways.
