Support Files
The support files for a module are available only when the module is in use. The following table lists all support files. In addition to showing their icons, this table indicates the modules with which these files are used and whether they are singular support or library file types. Only one occurrence of a singular support file type can exist in the Project. Multiple occurrences of a library file type can exist in the Project. For more information, see Singular Support and Library Files.
