Branch Project: Project Copy Settings

The Project Copy Settings page in the Branch Project wizard defines the parameters used by the branching process to import file-audit data, inventory, and inventory-review information from the source project to the branched project.

If neither Upload Codebase nor Sync from Control Version was selected on the Project Information page, this import process copies only inventory and inventory-review information from the source project to the branched project. In this scenario, no file information will be associated with the inventory copied to the branched project.

For a description of the procedures related to the Project Copy Settings page, see the following:

The following describes the properties and actions available on the Project Copy Settings page:

Branch Project: Project Copy Settings Page

Field

Description

Add Files to Inventory

Refer to Import Project Data Dialog for a description of this field and its related File matching criteria fields. The branched project is the same as the “target project” in this description.

If the branching process is performing an inventory-only copy to the branched project (that is, if neither Upload Codebase nor Sync from Control Version was selected on the Project Information page), this criterion is ignored during the branching process.

Mark Files as Reviewed

Refer to Import Project Data Dialog for a description of this field and its related File matching criteria fields. The branched project is the same as the “target project” in this description.

If the branching process is performing an inventory-only copy to the branched project (that is, if both Upload Codebase and the Sync from Control Version are not selected on the Project Information page), this criterion is ignored during the branching process.

Inventory Notes Handling

Refer to Import Project Data Dialog for a description of this field. The branched project is the same as the “target project” in this referenced description.

Inventory Usage Handling

Select one of these options to define how the branch process should handle the Usage attributes for inventory items:

•

Copy existing usage field values—Copy the existing Usage values for the inventory items from the source project to the branched project. (Default)

•

Reset usage field values to system default—Do not copy existing Usage values for inventory items from the source project to the branched project. Instead, in the branched project, reset all Usage fields for these inventory items to the system default value: Unknown.

For a description of the inventory usage fields, refer to Usage tab in the Project Inventory Details Pane topic.

Click this button to validate the information on this page. If errors are found, you must correct them before moving to the next page. If no errors exist, the Summary page in the wizard open.

Back

Click this button to move to the previous wizard page.

Note that if you navigate back to the Project Information page, you cannot edit the Name field for project. Additionally, if you uploaded a codebase from the Upload Codebase page, the Scan Server and Upload Codebase options on the Project Information page are disabled.

Cancel

Click this button to cancel the project-branching setup. The branched project and any uploaded codebases for the project are deleted from Code Insight.
