All replication takes place on a per project basis. Your MM can either be:
| • | the master of a project, i.e. the project was first defined on your MM and only your MM can change the properties, flows and assignments of the project. Remote MMs connect to your MM to replicate the project based on their flow assignments and responsibilities to the project |
| • | or a client of a project, i.e. the project was defined on a remote MM and your MM is merely responsible for all or part of the project's files. |
You can add a new project (making your MM the Master of the project) by:
| 1. | Right-clicking the Projects folder and typing in a new name for the project |
| 2. | The click OK and double click the project to configure it's properties. |
