Working with Multiple Files

Top  Previous  Next

Sometimes it is convenient to perform an operation on several files at once. For example, if you have edited several files related to the same product release, you will want to check-in all of these files at one the same time. This gives all the files the same check-in information.

To perform a multiple file operation:

1.

Open the Document Explorer (refer to Using the Document Explorer Tool in CS-RCS Tools) OR the standard Windows Explorer.

2.

Select all the related files or folders.

3.

Right-click on the selected files or folders.

The right-click menu includes the following commands:

·

Click Add to RCS to add all selected files to the RCS Repository.

Note: Use the File Types tab of the Properties dialog box to exclude certain file-types. For more information, refer to Configuring the File Type in Customizing CS-RCS.

·

Click RCS Status to see the status of the selected files. See Folder Status Window in Using the Document Explorer Tool in CS-RCS Tools for more information.

·

Click Check-out to check-out the selected files. See Checking-out files in Using the Document Explorer Tool in CS-RCS Tools for more information.

·

Click Check-in to check-in the selected files. See Checking-in files in Using the Document Explorer Tool in CS-RCS Tools for more information.
