Launching Planner

Figure 4. Browsing for Folder

•Directory Name: Displays the path and the project file directory name.

•Location Map: Enter the location of the desired location map image or click <Browse> to navigate to the folder containing the desired image.

If you enter invalid data or select an invalid file, Planner displays an alert.

The Planner outputs are:

•Project file created and saved as an XML file with an extension ‘.prj’.

•Planner file created and saved as an XML file with an extension ‘.spm’.

If at a later point, you modify and save this XML output file, by editing it in a text pad, the file becomes corrupt. After that, you will not be able to open this file in Planner.

A .spm file is bound to a .prj file. You cannot create a .spm file only. When you try to open a .spm file separately and not through the Project, Planner creates a default project, creates a node for that .spm file under the ‘Root’ location folder, and displays the .spm file.

The project layout appears as follows.
