Within Quanta Plus there are several key concepts. To understand and take advantage of Quanta Plus, you must first learn these concepts, the fundamentals. This chapter will explain and show you these concepts, without which Quanta Plus would be primitive.

The Workspace

Quanta Plus divides the workspace into three scopes: Global, Local, and Project. These distinctions affect various components in Quanta Plus.

Global

Global items are available to anyone that uses Quanta Plus. From toolbars to actions, everything marked as global is stored in the common Quanta Plus folder structure. This has the effect of allowing a group of admins to save certain toolbars, actions, and templates in the global tree, which can then be used to keep a multi-user installation of Quanta Plus common to everyone on the system.

Local

Local items make up a single user's personal collection of web development resources. These items are made up of a user's templates and toolbars. Local items are stored in a user's home folder. This makes all of the user's Local items available for personal use at instance.

Project

Project items are are only available to a particular project. These can be anything from a CSS template to a toolbar with custom actions which perform a special task on a project's files. Simply put, this is the most limited scope. All of the items saved in the project workspace will be saved in the project's folder tree, allowing you to share your specialized tools and templates with whomever else you share your project with.
