Create JOBs Database and Project if not already present
Create JOBs Database and Project if not already present
Open JOBs Explorer and create Database if a Database is not already present
The general advice is not to save the Database on the same drive as the operating system installation, in most cases Windows is installed on the C Drive, and so creating a database on the C Drive should be avoided. The D drive or E drive usually are fast write speed SSDs, which are more appropriate for JOBs database locations.
Create Project if no Project is not already present
The general advice is to name the project after the experiment being conducted.
