Including Files for Upload

Follow this procedure when you want to add a file inclusion to the upload rules for Dimensions, an IDE, or an IDE project. A file inclusion allows files that match a certain file name pattern to be added, checked in, or uploaded to Dimensions.

NOTE The order in which the inclusions are displayed in the list is significant. General inclusions should appear above more specific inclusions, ensuring that the specific inclusions are attempted for pattern matching first.

To add a file inclusion:

1. From the Upload Rules main window, select one of the following from the navigation pane:

n Dimensions Clients | Default Project to add the file inclusion to the Dimensions default rule set.

n Dimensions Clients | product name to add the file inclusion to the rule set for a specific product.

n IDE Name | Default Project to add the file inclusion to an IDE default rule set.

n IDE Name | Project Name to add the file inclusion to an IDE project rule set.

2. From the Include section, select an existing inclusion if you want the new inclusion to be added above it in the list. Otherwise, the new inclusion will appear at the bottom of the list.

3. Click the New button. The New Upload Inclusion dialog box appears.

4. Enter the file name pattern for the files you want to include in the File Name Inclusion Patterns Match field.

5. Optionally, complete the rest of the fields in the dialog box.

6. Click OK.

NOTE Where there is a conflict, the list of files to exclude supersedes the list of files to include.
