Branch Project: Summary

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.

Once the branching process starts, any SCM synchronization is performed first. Then the branching process scans the branch-project codebase and finally performs an import to copy file-audit data, inventory, and inventory-review information from the source project to the branched project. For an overview of the branching-operation phases, see Overview of the Branching Operation.

For a description of the procedures related to the Summary page, see the following:

Branch Project: Summary Page
Field	Description
Finish	Click this button to initiate the project-branching process. The dashboard for the new branched project is displayed, showing the current status of the branching process. Once the branching is finished, you can navigate to the Project Inventory tab and the Analysis Workbench for the branched project to proceed with the file-audit and inventory-review processes.
Back	Click this button to move to the previous wizard page. Alternatively, you can click any of the enabled tabs for wizard pages to move directly to a page. This backward navigation allows you to make changes to the parameters you set for the project-branching process. 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.
