If you send your work to another user, almost everything you have setup will be sent intact without them needing to set anything up again.

The following is stored inside your Solution File (.ame) or Template File (.amet):

• Project structure and information,
• Text / notes / images or other content,
• Links and embedded attachments,
• Custom icons and relationships,
• Filter searches,
• Gantt Chart information and Resources,
• Calendar state,
• Briefcase setup and project stacks,
• Tasks / dates and other time based information,
• Rollback versions you have created,
• Locking information for branches and projects,
• Alarms (see Alarm functions)

Key Concept: What do you do if you have setup custom icons or other features that you want to re-use again? Do you need to set them up all over again? No. Just take the Solution File that has everything setup the way you want and create a template and/or just save it as a new file. Then every time you begin a new Solution File, use your template.

This allows great flexibility because you can setup a variety of starting points. For example, you may have a starting template for an accounts project with icons and filters specific to that type of work, and another for marketing. Using this flexible system you can start the right way each time without having to reconfigure as you would in other applications.

If Mindsystems Amode used the other method and tied all this information to your PC, it would mean every time you want to change a set of icons or features, you would have to adjust the application to match what you wanted to do at that moment. Instead you could for example have a Solution File with icons/settings setup for your work environment and another customised to your personal life.

You could even open both side by side by using the multiple instances function, making it the same as if you had two separately configured software applications.

The following is tied to your PC and are the same across every Solution File:

• Templates and the content of the Template Bank,
• System settings found in the top left Application Menu > Options,
• Default choices (remembering your choices for check boxes etc between sessions),
• Functional memory of how you have positioned the interface (ie. you have change the view panel from right to left),
• System styles for Briefcase and Topic Default Styles,
• Dictionary and spelling information,
• License information and/or trial status.
