Step 4: Configuring a Project Copy

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. By default, this page shows the properties used by the source project. However, you can edit these properties as needed for the branched project.

Note:During the import, the branching process ignores the setting On rescan or import, delete inventory without any associated files for the branched project and always creates inventory. (This setting, found on the Manage Project | Edit Project | General tab on the project’s Summary tab, can be accessed once the branching process is completed.)

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. With this scenario, no file information will be associated with the inventory copied to the branched project.

To define project copy settings for the branching operation, do the following:

1.

On the Project Copy Settings page in the Branch Project wizard, edit the properties that the branching operation will use to import file-audit and inventory information from the source project to the branched project. See Branch Project: Project Copy Settings for more information about these properties.

2.

Click Next to verify the properties and, if no errors exist, move to the Summary page in the wizard. See Step 5: Initiating the Branching Operation.
