Creating a grouping project

This example creates a project called toolkit_top-3.0 to represent all of the toolkit projects for different platforms.

Be sure to read About grouping projects before you start this operation.

Procedure

  1. Create new projects with unique names for each platform.

    If the project contains projects for a specific platform, set each platform value for the project.

  2. For each of the new platform projects, drag the existing projects for that platform under the new projects.

    If you do not remember the name of the project you want to add, use the Query dialog box to find the project.

  3. Create the top-level grouping project and turn off work area maintenance for the new grouping project.
    1. Create a project.

      Task > New > Project

    2. Right-click over the project you created and choose Properties. In the Work Area tab, turn off work area maintenance. Save the change by clicking OK.

      Do not set a platform value. This project contains subprojects with different platform values. If you set a platform value for the top-level grouping project, only subprojects with the same platform value are included after you update that project.

    3. Add each of the new platform projects as members of the top-level grouping project.

      Right-click over the root directory, point to Create Member, then choose Subproject. Type the new subproject name in the Create Subproject dialog box. If the subproject exists, drag it under the top-level grouping project.
