-The following can be entered:
-  * name (e.g. supplier model),
-  * directory (repository folder),
-  * optional: IG.Creator Credentials,
-  * notes and
-  * attachments.
-The directory should always be the model/series repository managed in GIT, without the "Geometries" addition. The GM works exclusively in the "Geometries" subfolder and creates it when needed.
-General notes can be stored in the notes, as in the example, supported by images as attachments. These are used in the reports and enhance them accordingly.
-**Tasks**
-In the Project view, in the lower part of the UI, you can see all existing projects, sorted by name. You can also sort the view by date by simply clicking on the header with the title **Last modified**. The default sorting can be restored by clicking on the title **Project**.
-The three most recent projects are listed at the top under **Last projects** as information.
-By clicking on the project entry in the projects list, the program changes to the geometries view.
-If you have an project selected after all, you can also use the **View** to re-open the geometries view.
-With the **Edit** button, an selected project can be changed and attachments for the project can be added.
-**Add project**
-To add an new project, simple use the button **Add project** in the view. A new dialog appears for gathering all project informations. Please enter at least an project name and the project directory.
-If you have an index.xlsx in the geometries subfolder, you can use the **Import** button to read geometries and products, else use the **Save** button to create the new empty project.
-**Import**
-The import reads all geometries, products and states like HiRes needs from the excel sheet.
-The excel sheets should be formatted like the template in the [[ig:gfx:geometrymanager_start|First start]] chapter.
-**Attachments**
-Many elements of a GM project can get a number of attachments, so can the project itself.
-To save an image in the form of a PNG or JPG file, select it using the "Browse..." button and then exit the window using the "Save" button.
-With the help of the red cross the selected file can be removed again, of course the file itself is not deleted.
-With the help of the button "Show" all attachments of the current project can be viewed.
-To add more attachments, simple open the edit view (button "Edit") and select an new file and then press "Save" again.
-**More settings**
-Other settings will be used later to communicate with the IG.Creator, at the moment you must not enter it.
