Project Settings
Each project stores the following information:
- Project name — displayed on the dashboard and in PDF exports
- Client name — included in exported reports for professional presentation
- Description — optional notes for your reference
- Floor plans — uploaded images or PDFs used as design backgrounds
- Cameras, cable routes, and other design elements
Managing Existing Projects
From the Dashboard you can:
- Open a project to continue editing in the CCTV Designer
- Duplicate a project to create a variant of an existing design
- Delete projects you no longer need
- See when each project was last modified
Tip: Use descriptive project names that include the location and floor number. This makes it easier to find projects later, especially when working with multiple clients.
