Shared Data Folder
From Version 6
By default, the application stores all data locally on a single PC, and each installation works with its own independent dataset.
To work on multiple computers using the same tools, machines, and configuration tables, it is possible to enable a shared data folder.
When a shared folder is configured, all installations use the same synchronized data, ensuring consistency across different PCs.
Default local DATA folder :
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\ECAM V6\Data
