You can get project information and set up passwords to protect your project, password table, and global macros by using the Project information & Protection
dialog box. To open the dialog box, you can do one of the following:
1) In the Project Manager tool window, double-click the Project node ().
2) In the menu bar, click Project to bring up the Project sub-menu. Then, click Information & Protection….
The following is an example of the Project Information and Protection dialog box.

The following table describes how to read or use each of the items in the dialog box.

Item		Description
Project Name		The name of the project. It is also the file name of the project.
Author		The author of the project.
Created Time/date		The time and date when the project was created.
Last Saved Time/date		The last time and date when the project was saved.
Version		The version number of the Software that was used to save the project last time.
Developer Password		Click it to bring up the Edit Developer Password dialog box and specify the developer password. The developer password must be an unsigned integer and can have up to 9 digits. The default developer password is 000000000 (nine 0s) for new projects and new panels. When the runtime data of an application is downloaded to a panel, the panel compares its developer password with the developer password of the application. If the passwords match, the panel accepts the download operation immediately. If the passwords are different, the panel prompts for the entry of the developer password of the application. This ensures that one has the right to use the runtime data. After the entry of the application's developer password, the panel accepts the download operation and takes the developer password of the application as its own developer password.
Automatic File Recovery		Click it to bring up the File Recovery Settings dialog box and specify the save interval for automatic file recovery (max 60 minutes) and days to keep the backup (Max 30 days). The Automatic File Recovery is a feature that automatically creates backup data for unsaved project files. If the software crashes or the power is lost or your solution is closed unexpectedly, this backup data can be used to recreate the unsaved files, mini-missing the loss of work. On reopening the Software, an option is given to recover the file or discard the backup data for the file. Backup File Location: You should not normally need to view backup files directly. If you do need to see them, they can be found in the Documents and Settings\Administrator folder. Open this folder and the subfolder named the same as the version of the Software you are using. This contains a "Backup" directory that holds the backup data, organized by project name. Note: Do not use the feature as a substitute for regularly saving your work by clicking Save on the Standard toolbar.
