Application Install Files | C:\Program Files\EDX | SignalPro has a collection of files that are included during install and should never be edited by the user. |
Application Data Files | C:\Program Data\EDX | SignalPro has a collection of options, caches, and data that are managed by the application. In general these should not be edited by the user. |
SignalPro Project Files Plus Supplemental Files: | C:\Users\<user>\Documents\EDX\ | Keeping all project files under the user’s documents directory makes project sharing easier since everything is relative to the “My Documents” directory. |
Shared GIS Databases | C:\EDX_Shared\GIS\ | Keeping all shared Placing the GIS database files under this directory will help reduce problems when multiple users are working on the same project. Or when multiple projects are utilizing the same data. |

FAQ:
What if I keep my data on a different drive letter?
So long as the drive is local to the machine that is running SignalPro, you can substitute your own drive letter into this directory scheme without issue (e.g., D:\ for C:\).
My old projects from a previous machine did not follow this convention. What do I do?
See the article on EDX Software Migration Guide. While migrating the project, it can be adjusted to conform to this structure.
