4. Repeat these steps untill all projects/ recipes on the disk have been imported.

To change the subject of a project / recipe, locate it using the quick list search making sure the desired project is highlighted blue, click on the Change Subject button, select the new subject from the list and click on OK to change it. You will notice that the project code of the project / recipe you've just changed now has the prefix of the new subject in front of it.

Delete Old Schedule

This utility deletes all scheduled projects / recipes that were scheduled before the start of the Default School Start Date (defined in Tools | Options).

Update All Project Costs

This utility updates the total costs of all project / recipes in the database. You have to exit the system when this routine is finished.

Delete and Replace

This utility allows you to select an item that you no longer wish to use, replace every occurrence of it in the Centre and Project / Recipe files with a new selected item and then delete it. This is handy if there is an outdated item in the stock database and you wish to delete it and replace it with an item that is more suitable for you.
