Project-specific files, including new cartridges, pipelines and templates c:\projects\MyStore

Use separate (project) folders to store cartridges and other files that change frequently. These files should also be under source control.

  • Can be opened, closed, built or shared
  • Can consist of one or more cartridges
  • Each cartridge contains directories for forms, pipelines, scripts, static files, templates, webreferences files and a <cartridge_name>.properties file, which enables the system to load and run the cartridge.
  • You can store cartridges in one or more local directories.
  • You can rename cartridges
