To open the ComponentSoftware Administrator:

|
| 2. | From the Project menu, click Launch Administrator.
|
| The ComponentSoftware Administrator appears:
|
|
|
|
Select any project or folder in the left-hand tree to control which files will be displayed. Sort the list by clicking the desired column header. Re-click the same column header to reverse the sorting order. Place your cursor over any document in the list to view the document's title.
The ComponentSoftware Administrator lists all files that are in the project and displays the following document properties:
| · | Document Name – The file's name.
|
| · | Type – The file's extension.
|
| · | Folder Name – The file's path.
|
| · | Change – One of the following options is displayed:
|
| · | None – The branch and the trunk are unchanged.
|
| · | Branch – A new revision has been added to the branch.
|
| · | Trunk – A new revision has been added to the trunk.
|
| · | Both – A new revision has been added to both the branch and trunk.
|
| · | Added – This file has been added to the branch.
|
| · | Deleted – This file has been deleted from the branch.
|
| · | Change time – The time either the branch or the trunk has last been modified.
|
| · | Merge Status – One of the following options is displayed:
|
| · | N/A – No merge is needed.
|
| · | Automatic – The merge can be done automatically by CS-RCS.
|
| · | Conflicts – The merge can be done automatically by CS-RCS. However, you must review the result since there are conflicts which you need to resolve manually.
|
| · | Manual – A manual merge is needed. This is normal for binary files.
|
| · | Revision – Branch revision number.
|
| · | Time – Branch check-in time.
|
| · | Locked by – Branch user that locked this revision, if any.
|
| · | Trunk Revision – Trunk revision number.
|
| · | Trunk Time – Trunk check-in time.
|
| · | Trunk Locked by – Trunk user that locked this revision, if any.
|
Select any file. From the right-click or File menu:
| · | Click Revision History to display the revision history of the file.
|
| · | Click Set Title to enter a description and comments.
|
| · | Click Unlock Branch to remove any lock from the branch revision.
|
| · | Click Unlock Trunk to remove any lock from the trunk revision.
|
| Note: If you release another user's lock on a file, any changes that the other user has made to this file and not checked-in will not be incorporated. However, CS-RCS is sometimes able to merge the changes. It is not recommended to use the unlock command as a usual procedure.
|
| · | Click Analyze Branch Changes to review changes made to the branch.
|
| · | Click Analyze Trunk Changes to review changes made to the trunk.
|
| · | Click Analyze Branch Merge to review trunk changes after an automatic merge of the branch.
|
| · | Click Exit to close the Document Explorer.
|
You can perform the following project-level commands from the Project menu:
| · | Click Settings to define a new project or to edit existing project settings.
|
| · | Click Set Active Project to select the desired project.
|
| · | Click Set Active Branch to select the active branch.
|
| · | Click Merge Status to evaluate the merge status of the current project.
|
| · | Click Set Work Area for Merge to map the work area to the trunk. This step is needed in order to merge a branch to the trunk. For more information on merging, refer to Merging a Branch to the Trunk in Branching and Merging.
|
| · | Click Merge Branch to Work Area to merge all branch changes to the work area.
|
| · | Click Check-in Work Area to Trunk to check-in branch merges to the Repository.
|
| · | Click Scan New Files to scan the RCS Repository for new files and refresh the status of the files within the current project.
|
| Note: When working with many RCS files, the Scan New Files command can be time consuming. However, if the status information is cached, further use of the Refresh command (from the View menu), and the Scan New Files command (from the Project menu) will be faster. For information on how to confirm that the status information is cached (the program's default), refer to Advanced Properties in Customizing CS-RCS.
|
| · | Click Reports to generate the Project Status Report for the current project. For information on the Project Status Report, refer to Project Status Report in Generating CS-RCS Reports.
|
| · | Click Milestones to access the Milestone Library. For information on the Milestone Library, refer to Working with Project Milestones.
|
| · | Click Create Shortcut to create a Windows Desktop shortcut icon for the current project.
|
| · | Click Launch Explorer to open the ComponentSoftware Document Explorer.
