Switching Projects via a Button in Reactor

Reactor allows to switch the current project easily using a button.

In the Project Manager, open the project details for the project you want to switch to. Copy the project's Filename exactly. It is necessary to toggle on Show Advanced to see the file name.

This should then give you the option to define the value needed. 

The first box will contain the Project File Name as directly copied from the Project Details. The second box can contain any name you would like to be displayed on the hardware panel.

You should end up with a button like this:

Please Note, changing the current project will disconnect controllers if they are not configured in the project that is being switched to. 

Make sure to configure the projects to be switched between in each project.
