Step 5: Initiating the Branching Operation

The Summary page in the Branch Project wizard provides an overview of the parameters that you defined for the project-branching process. From this page, you can start the branching process. Alternatively, you can navigate back to other pages in the wizard to make changes before starting the branching process, or you cancel the entire branching setup.

To initiate the branching operation, do the following:

1.

On the Summary page in the Branch Project wizard, review the list of properties defined for the branching operation.

2.

If you need to make any changes to the current configuration for the branching operation, click Back to navigate backwards through the wizard pages. Alternatively, you can click any of the enabled tabs for wizard pages to move directly to a page.

3.

To start the branching operation, click Finish on the Summary page. The project dashboard for the branched project is displayed, showing the current status of the branching process.

When the branching operation is finished, you can open the branched project and navigate to its Project Inventory tab or Analysis Workbench to proceed with auditing codebase files or reviewing inventory.
