Project organisation
Each Project records information relating to the user(s) who created and last modified it, as well as the dates and
times of creation and last modification. This information is read-only and is recorded and maintained automatically
by ModelBuilder under the Project's Properties.
Project Properties can be viewed by right-clicking on the Project's name in ModelBuilder's navigation tree and
selecting “Properties” in the context-sensitive menu that appears (see Figure 2.6).
The Properties dialog has a second tab that controls the list of Projects that can be cross-referenced - this is
discussed below.

In gPROMS ModelBuilder, the Entities in one Project may make references to Entities that belong to another Project.
For example,
a Model Entity in Project A may refer to Variable Types in a Project B in declaring its Variables;
a Model Entity in Project A may refer to Models in a Project B in declaring its Unit sub-models;
a Task or Process Entity in Project A may refer to Models and/or Tasks in Project B;
