Developers who want full control over the way
projects are updated can create a project grouping with a Custom
Development purpose. They can manually choose a baseline
and a list of tasks to be used for all custom projects for a particular
release.
For example, if developers must configure projects
to be exactly like the last baseline, but with four additional tasks,
they can create a project with a Custom Development purpose,
set the project grouping baseline to match the last release, and add
the four tasks. (This process is useful for a small team developing
a patch without the initial support of a build manager.)
Procedure
- Change a project to have a custom purpose.
- Right-click over a project and select Properties.
To find a project, see Finding an object.
- In the Properties dialog
box, change the purpose to Custom Development.
- Click Apply to
save changes.
- Right-click over the appropriate project
grouping and select Properties.
- In the Properties dialog
box, click the Baseline Projects tab to view
the current baseline.
- Select a different baseline for the project
grouping.
- Click the Select Baseline button.
The Select Baseline dialog
box appears. By default, baselines display in the results field based
on the project grouping release, for example, toolkit/2.0.
- Choose the baseline and click OK.
What to do next
Add tasks to the project grouping.
