Define a reference file (formerly Autoload)

A reference file is a file that will be present for all users of a project.

These files will appear under a “REFERENCES” group in MySurvey's Group tab. They cannot be unlocked for modification, nor can they be appropriated. The user can only choose whether or not to display them in the various views.

Reference files are in msz format.

There are several ways of adding reference files:

• All files are located in the same folder:
  • It is advisable to make a folder called “autoloads” or “maquette” in the MySurvey project folder, next to the DATA folder, and put the desired files in it.
  • Using a text editor (e.g. notepad++), open the “project.conf” file in the project's DATA folder.
  • Near the end of the file, add a line :
    • AUTOLOAD_FILES::<PROJECT_PATH>/autoloads/
  • The <PROJECT_PATH> indication fetches the project folder and the “autoloads” is the folder we created earlier.
  • In this case, all files with the .msz extension will be automatically loaded into each user's project.
  • The small star at the beginning of a line indicates a comment. Any line beginning with a star will not be taken into account in MySurvey.

• The files are in several folders, or only some of them are to be loaded as references:
  • As above, open the “project.conf” file in the project's DATA folder in a text editor (e.g. notepad++).
  • Towards the end of the file, add a line for each file:
    • AUTOLOAD_FILES::<PROJECT_PATH>/autoloads/Maquette.msz
    • AUTOLOAD_FILES::<PROJECT_PATH>/autoloads/Maquette2.msz
    • AUTOLOAD_FILES::<PROJECT_PATH>/maquetteFinale/Pompes.msz
• These examples will load two files in the “autoloads” folder and one in the “maquetteFinale” folder into MySurvey.
