SKSS File Types and Naming Conventions
SKSS has three file types. Each file type stores different information about a specific
panel or account. File types are identified by their file extension as shown in the table
below. When you are working with the files, a unique icon will display in the upper left
corner.
File Menu
The file menu contains options that apply to all Windows applications (such as Open,
Save, and Save As), as well as some options that are unique to SKSS. The chart below
describes SKSS specific options.
