Installation Folder Installation Folder

Installation Folder: The default installation folder for all of our software options is: C:\Program Files\NYSPRL. This location is modifiable during installation.  Please note that your report files are not stored here; they are in the report folder.  There is no reason for you to access this folder.  While the blank Option B templates are stored here, it is simpler to use the Blank Form button on the registration Registration form to open a new form.

Report Folder Report Folder

Report Folder (also known as Data Directory): The default folder for storing report files that you save and the identity.txt file containing the information entered on the registration Registration form.  The folder name is PRLyyyy (where “yyyy” is the report year, for ex. PRL2014) and it is created by the PRL Reporting Software Options A, B, and C.  A separate report folder is created for each report year.  You may store your files in another location, but the identity.txt is always saved in the report folder.  We strongly recommend saving to the current report folder, which should be the default.

...

The PRL Reporting Software displays the current location for the report folder in the upper right corner of the registration Registration form.

For example, if you create reports for the 2014 report year and have not changed the report root location, the default report folder location is: C:\PRL2014.

Report Root Folder: The report root folder is a location where all of your NYS PRL files should be saved.  It contains a report folder for each report year, The default setting for the report root is your C:\ drive.  The report root folder can be changed during installation or by using the Change Report Root menu item on the Tools menu of the registration Registration form.  For example if you set the report root folder to C:\PRL, and you create reports for 2011 and 2012, the C:\PRL folder will contain two sub-folders: PRL2011 and PRL2012.
