The term "Project" in GemStone refers to collection of files that determine an analysis approach. A Project includes one or more model templates that are used to analyze FCS files. It includes one or more batch scripts that determine how to load FCS files and model templates, what operations to perform on the FCS files, and the outputs of the analysis such as PDF files and databases. A Project contains the FCS files added to it, and the output files it generates.
Projects provide a simple way to design an analysis strategy and to manage the related files. On disk, a Project is organized as a set of folders and files.
