A Project element contains all declarations in the PROJECT.xml file. In other words, everything you write in your PROJECT.xml file will go between the beginning and ending Project tags. There can only be one Project element per PROJECT.xml file. Nevertheless, a single Project can contain multiple data-collection Forms.

The above code is for a project called “ProjectName” with a version number “1.2” an ID number of “101” and a default language of British English.
