Creation of Measurement Projects 
If you have been given the task of performing exposure measurements, the first thing to do is create a measurement project for which you then enter the basic project data such as description, project type, site, and date.
To create a project, you can start directly in measurement management or from the hit lists in work area management and risk assessment via the Environment menu.
The process is different depending on whether you create the measurement project with or without a reference to a preceding project:
· If you create a project without a reference to a preceding project, you must enter the complete planning data for executing the project after the project is created (see Creating New Measurement Projects).
· If you create a project with a reference to a preceding project, for example, a control measurement, the system copies the basic structure of the planning data (work areas and agents to be measured) from the preceding project to the new project when you create it. This copy function is implemented as a user exit. You can therefore adapt it to meet your requirements (see Creating Measurement Projects As Follow-On Projects).
You can only create measurement projects with a reference to a preceding project from measurement management.
