Creating new components

To create a new component without base version, the CSV file must contain at least the following content:

  • Name of the component
  • Component directory in the Project tree. The working directory can remain empty, in which case component directory and working directory are identical.
  • Component type

The other columns can be filled as required, e.g. if Multi-user editing is to be activated or master data is to be stored for the component.

For a component with base version, a source data directory with project data must be specified in the Source data directory column. These are transferred to the component directory and then checked in on the server.

Example

In the following example, six new components are created, two each with the component types ASCII, Binary and PDF. Project data already exists for the two PDF components, the remaining components are to be created without base version.

CSV file:

;Component_1;\ASCII-Components;ASCII;D:\vdClientArchive;;newly created;false
;Component_2;\ASCII-Components;ASCII;D:\vdClientArchive;;newly created;false
;Component_3;\Binary-Components;Binary;Z:\EasyAssetIntegrator;;newly created;true
;Component_4;\Binary-Components;Binary;Z:\EasyAssetIntegrator;;newly created;true
;Component_5;\PDF-Components;PDF;Z:\EasyAssetIntegrator\PDF1;D:\ProjectData\PDF1;newly created with data;true;Client_1;Project_A;Germany
;Component_6;\PDF-Components;PDF;D:\vdClientArchive;D:\ProjectData\PDF2;newly created with data;false;Client_2;Project_B;Germany
