3. CivilPro Desktop Training
Your CivilPro installation can connect to a database server, or create local databases on your computer (standalone). Generally, you will operate connected to your database server for real world projects, but you will use a standalone database for training, or for projects where you have no internet connectivity and do not need to share your data easily. If you have not used CivilPro before, or haven't used it for a while, it is essential to run through the training in a standalone database - or at the very least read it.
