Projects - Introduction

Top  Previous  Next

CS-RCS can be used to manage any number of documents. When working with a large number of documents (over 50 for example), it is recommended to group these files into projects. Working with projects provides the following benefits:

·

It is convenient to inspect and perform RCS operations on a pre-defined set of related files.

·

Users manipulating one project cannot accidentally modify the status of documents assigned to another project.

·

A project can be defined as a sub-tree of the central Repository or as an alternate Repository tree. If you create alternate Repository trees, you can use CS-RCS to manage distributed RCS repositories in the corporate network or over the Internet.

·

Projects can be assigned a per-workstation working directory root.

Note: CS-RCS must be configured to use the Central Repository to support projects. Central Repository is the setup program's default.
