| The Edit Milestone dialog box appears:
|
|
|
|
| · | Milestone name – Specify the desired Milestone name.
|
| · | Description and comments – Enter the milestone's description. On the first line, enter a short sentence that will be the milestone title. If desired, enter additional details on further lines.
|
| · | Milestone criteria – Select from the following options:
|
| · | By date – Enter the time and date for this milestone. Open the date drop-down menu to display a calendar from which you can choose a date and year.
|
| · | RCS symbolic name – Enter an RCS symbolic name that defines the milestone (used mostly with legacy RCS files).
|
| · | Branch – This drop-down list is used for branching support as discussed in the Branching and Merging section of the User Guide (Pro edition only).
|
| · | Milestone type – Select from the following options:
|
| · | Branch – Create a branch, as discussed in the Branching and Merging section of the User Guide. (This feature is available on the Pro edition only.)
|
| · | Normal / Temporary – CS-RCS handles Normal and Temporary milestones equally. The two types can be used in order to define the weight of a milestone. This can be useful when viewing reports.
|
Click OK to save the milestone. This operation can be time-consuming since CS-RCS scans all files matching the milestone's criteria and caches this information.
Note: Make sure that none of the files are being modified by any user when "freezing" the current state of the project.
