The Add Files/Folders dialog box allows you to add new files or folders to the repository by selecting files that are accessible to the local machine.
The Add Files/Folders dialog box can be opened:
From the File menu, select Add Files/Folders
Right-click on selected folder to bring up the Folder Tree Context Menu, select Add Files/Folders
Select Add Files/Folders on the Toolbar
Ctrl+N
Tree View of Local File System
The top pane contains a tree control and a file list of the local file system. If a working folder exists at the node this command was invoked on, the tree control will have that working folder selected. Selecting a node in the tree will fill the file list with the files in that local folder.
Checking a folder will automatically check all the folders and files under that folder that meet the exclusion rules, and add that folder to the File/Folder to be Added list. If not all files/folders underneath a folder are checked, the folders checkbox will be partially checked.
Checking a partially checked folder will fully check all files and folders under that folder. Checking a fully checked folder will uncheck all files and folders, and remove the entry from the Files/Folder to be Added list.
Files/Folders to be Added
The Files/Folders to be Added is the list of pending folders or files that are to be added from the local directory. Following are the columns in this list.
Items The local path of the file or folder to be added.
Properties For files, the size of the file being added. For folders, the total size, and the number of folders and files included in the folder being added.
Repository Path The path in the repository the items will be added.
Exclude
Click Exclude to display a dialog that allows you to view/edit the list of files and folders to exclude when checking a folder. This list is defined in the Admin Tool and making changes to it here does not update the default list.
Changing this list does not go back and re-apply the exclusion rules to already checked folders, since it is possible you could have already made changes to the file list that cause it to not follow the exclusion rules. If you want to re-apply the exclusion rules, you need to uncheck the folder, then check it again.
Browse
Click Browse to add additional drives or shared network folders to the Local File System tree view. This allows you to add files from any drive that can be accessed from the local machine. New drives are rooted at the top of the tree view.
Remove
Click Remove to remove the selected files or folders from the pending list. This will update the state of the tree and file list to reflect that the items are not to be added.
Comment
Type a comment in the Comment dialog box. The comment applies to all files being added. If the Auto-Commit is on, they become the change set comment.
OK
Click OK to add the files and folder to the Pending Change Set window.
If Auto-Commit has not been selected, the files and folders will be added to the repository as part of the next check in transaction. The comment is applied individually to each file.
If Auto-Commit has been selected (default), the files and folders will be added to the Vault repository immediately. The comment will become the change set comment.
Please see Auto-Commit for more information.
Cancel
Click Cancel to exit the Add Files dialog box without making any changes.
