The software supports various kinds of objects grouped into the following categories:

• Templates
• Documents

The software handles the objects differently depending on where they are managed or how you interact with them.

Templates

Templates contain pre-defined content, for example the tasks required to run a job, or the fields required to complete a form.

Templates include, for example, the following objects:

• Job templates
• Free Mode setups
• Form templates
• Report templates
• Custom workbenches
• Image analysis
• Macros

Templates are managed in the archive. When your workflow requires selecting one of the above items, e.g. choosing a job template to run or a report template to use, you are presented with the items stored in the archive. In general, you only interact with items in the archive; you do not interact with the file system.

Documents

Various document types exist, for example:

• Images
• Data tables that contain for example measurement results
• Forms
• Tables
• Reports

During examination, the software generates documents that are archived in the local storage or in the archive. However, you can load and save documents to/from the file system by using tools in workbenches. You also have the option to export and import results or result documents.
