Data Design - Readings Data Save Location - Project File or Library?

Question

Where is the Readings List(s) and their data stored. For example, a Readings list for sieves? Are they in the library, or are they in the project, or gdt file itself. 
 
 Thanks

Hi Art, 
 The items under DataDesign. Reading Lists are stored in the library. 
 In Field Properties the Default list Name is stored in the Database (.gdt,.gpj) that is picked from the library you have open. 
 
 So for example you open a database with a library called library A . Goto the sieve reading table and set the default list from whatever reading lists you have in Library A. That reading list Name is now in the Database (.Gpj, .Gdt) . 
 If you then open that project with another library and it doesn't have a reading list with the same Name nothing will populate, but you can change it in the project by reopening the Field properties with the new library. 
 Hope that helps.

Hi Art, 
 Yes if you want consistency that would be correct. The name would only affect a situation where you open the same project with two different libraries, but would make sense to keep lists that contain the same info the same name
