Product

Project

Select this option to populate the project using the items from another project. Then select a project from the list.

Baseline

Select this option to populate the project using the items from a baseline. Then select a baseline from the list.

Branch

Select this option to increment version numbers by adding a period before the new number.

For example, if the revision number of an existing item is 2, the first new revision in this project is 2.1, and the next one is 2.2.

But for a new item created in a project, the first revision number is 1, the next one is 2, and the one after is 3.

Trunk

Select this option to increment the previous revision number by one for new item revisions in this project.

For example, if the revision number of an existing item is 2, the first new revision is 3, and the next one is 4. If the revision number of an existing item is 2.1, the first new revision is 2.2.

Note: We recommend that you use this option and assign a single branch.

Forced

Select this option to restrict users from changing the automatically generated revision number when creating new item revisions.

Optional

Use local stages

This deployment-related option determines whether the stage of item revisions in this project is affected by changes in other projects/streams. This option enables the following behavior:

• If Use local stages is selected, this preserves the stages of item revisions from changes caused by actioning.

  The stage of an item revision in this project remains unchanged when the same item revision in another project/stream is promoted/demoted to another stage.

  As a result, the same item revision can be at a different stage in different projects/streams.

• If Use local stages is cleared, then promoting/demoting an item revision in another project/stream to another stage changes the stage of the same item revision in this project.

If an item's lifecycle states are mapped to stages in the Global Stage Lifecycle (GSL), then the stage of an item revision can also be changed when the item revision is actioned to those states.

Note: After you select this option, you cannot clear it. If your project is using Deployment Automation, this option is always selected.

Use item type settings

Select this option to make items in this project follow the CM rules, as defined for the project type in the Administration Console.

Request required to refactor

Select this option to require users to provide a request ID when they make refactoring changes to the project, such as moving or renaming items or project folders.
