Modifying the properties of a project

You can change the information about a project.

Procedure

  1. Right-click over the project whose properties you want to modify, and select Properties.

    To find a project see Finding an object.

  2. In the Properties dialog box, modify the fields in the Properties tab, as required.

    The following describes the default modifiable fields.

    • Version

      A version is a specific variation of a file, directory, or project.

    • Release

      A release is a property that identifies a project that is specific to a particular release.

    • Purpose

      A project purpose defines what it is used for, for example, Insulated Development, Integration Testing, or System Testing. When you change your project purpose, Rational Synergy uses different selection criteria to update the project or project grouping.

    • Platform

      A platform is a property that designates the hardware type for an object, for example, AIX.

    • Project Grouping

      You cannot change this field, but you can perform actions on it by right-clicking over the project grouping name and using the context menu.

    • Baseline Project

      You cannot change this field, but you can perform actions on it by right-clicking over the baseline project name and using the context menu.

      The project version on which you base your project is called its baseline project. The baseline project is a part of the baseline set in the project grouping properties. For example, the baseline project for the editor-2.0 project would be editor-1.0. When you check out a new version of a project, its baseline project is set automatically.

  3. Modify the settings in a work area, if necessary.
  4. View or modify transfer set membership, if necessary.
  5. Change the security settings for objects, if necessary.

    The Security tab displays in this dialog box for teams who have a group security license and have set up groups in their database. Use the Security tab to allow or restrict users to modify and copy the selected project.

  6. Click Apply to save the changes.
