The Source Integrity Professional Edition User Guide - MKS

Getting Started With Projects, Sandboxes, and Members
Creating a Project
When you are ready to place a group of files under Source Integrity
control, the first step is to create a project. Organizing your files in a
project allows you to perform configuration management operations
on the files as a group.
You should place the project file in the topmost directory of the
source file hierarchy. Source Integrity projects work best when all
project members reside in a single directory tree under the project
directory. While members can reside anywhere on the system,
spreading projects across multiple directory trees increases the
chances that something will go wrong, since different users may map
network drives differently, and there is no guarantee that all users
will be able to access every directory on the system. Project members
which are not located in the same directory tree as the rest of the
project are called out-of-tree members.
Note The Source Integrity Web Interface does not support out-of-tree
members. If you want to use the Source Integrity Web Interface to access
a project, all of its members must be in the same directory tree.
The Windows interface provides a wizard to lead you through the
process of creating projects. You can choose to add members and
create a sandbox while you are creating the project, or choose to do it
later.
To create a project in the Windows interface:
1. Choose File > Create Project, or click .
Step 1 of the Create Project Wizard appears.
