====Measurement creation====
The way a new measurement is created is defined in the Save Setup dialog box using the Save Option property.
There are some specific cases where the behavior defined by the Save Option must be overridden:
* When the recorder is stopped, a measurement is created, overriding the "'''Do not save'''" choice.
* When the recorder is stopped, the measurement takes an specific name, overriding the "'''In default measurement'''" choice.
* For multi-analysis, the results corresponding to the different plug-ins are saved in separate measurements if the plug-ins do not stop simultaneously. While NVGate<sup></sup> is Running (meaning that at least one plug-in is still running), the measurements are saved with "'''With name confirmation'''" unless the Save option choice is "Do not save".
====Recovered project====
Each time NVGate<sup></sup> is not closed correctly and a default measurement is present in the project, the project is automatically loaded when NVGate<sup></sup> is launched, to ensure that no data is lost. If the project was the "Default project", then to the user is prompted to rename this project "Recovered project".

The contextual menus are accessible by right clicking on the area.

The project can be sorted alphabetically, chronologically or inversely chronologically.

The purpose of the following dialog box is to accelerate the cleaning of the project base. It is used to remove projects or measurements.

* '''Project: '''The list contains all projects except the current one. Once a project is selected, it is possible to remove the full project or to select a measurement to remove. If several projects are selected, it is then only possible to remove the selected project.
* '''Measurement: '''When one project is selected, the list of project measurements is displayed and available to be removed.
'''Collapse all items:''' Collapses all the branches of the project manager tree. Only the project items are visible.
'''Expand all items:''' Expands the entire branch of the project manager tree. All the items of the tree are visible. This can make the tree very large.
'''Auto width:''' Adjusts the width of the tree to the widest branch, so that every item is fully visible.
