When a view is run the user often interacts with the view and it would be good to save those answers for subsequent runs. In addition, these answers will be specific to a project and you only want to reuse those answers for the project at hand.

If the user wants to read or write to disk they will specify a project under which their data will be saved

The view defines 4 ways for the user of a view to specify their settings for this run of the view:

• “manual entry without save (default)”
• “manual entry with save for next time”
• “import data from previous run”
• “import data from previous run AND allow change”

• Defining a project for the project list
• Data storing in viewData - see the bullet about viewData and it's location
• view specific informants
• Getting project specific paths
