Folio properties
================

At QElectroTech, the `folio properties`_ can be common at all `folios`_ from the same 
`project`_. QElectroTech also allows that each `folio`_ has its own properties. For example, 
two `folios`_ from the same project will have the same size and title block but they can be 
created by different authors or they can have different revision. 

To increase the working eficiency, QElectroTech provides the option to storage at the project Data 
some `project properties`_ pre-defined by the user. This feature allows the user avoiding to define 
many `folio properties`_ each time that the user `creates new folio`_ inside the `project`_.

.. note ::

    QElectroTech allows defining automatically `folio properties`_ during `project creation`_. For more  
    information about how to standarize some `folio properties`_ from `project`_ to `project`_, please 
    refers to the `QElectroTech folio settings`_ section.

The **Folio** tab from **New folio** settings section allows pre-defining some `folio properties`_:

    * `Folio size`_.
    * `Folio title block`_.
    * `Folio default variables values`_.
    * `Folio user variables`_.
