### 3.6.5. Opening Projects

1. To open a Project from the database, select:

   Test-->Open.

2. If you haven’t already logged into the database, a dialog will appear to ask you to do so. See the previous section (Section 3.4.1, “Logging in to the database”) for details.

3. Choose the Project you want to open from the combo box in the dialog which appears (Figure 3.8, “Open Project from database”).

4. If the Project has more than one version, choose which version you want to open. For more information on Project versions, see the section later (Section 3.6.11, “Versioning Projects”).

5. The Project is opened in the ITE.

#### 3.6.5.1. Auto loading a default Project

1. Use the checkbox in the Open Project Dialog to specify that you want to open this Project in this version automatically when you select:

   Project-->Open

   This is useful if you only have one Project that you work with.

2. Per workspace, you can have one default Project. If you are connected to a database which does not contain the Project, or if the Project is no longer in the database, then you will be shown the Open Project Dialog and can choose another Project.

3. In the Test preferences (Figure 3.31, “Preference Dialog”), you can disable the auto load of the Project. Doing this will mean that you see the normal Open Project Dialog when you select

   Project-->Open
