Videos for versiondog components

What is a component in versiondog? For new versiondog users, it helps to look at components from a file system perspective and then compare them with the view in the UserClient. Recognizing the similarities and differences helps to understand what components are and how they work.

How to create a new versiondog component (and how to integrate an existing project)? To integrate an existing project including programming into the versiondog system, first create a versiondog component and then copy the project into the component. To integrate a new project, create a component and then create a new project directly in the component using the editor.

Rename, copy and move components in theProject tree* These functions are performed differently in the versiondog *Project tree than in the file manager. The differences are small, but you need to know them in order to work efficiently with versiondog.

Rename a versiondog component (and then check in this change on the server and remove the grayed-out component with the old name) versiondog is based on a client server architecture. This means that if you rename a component locally, a Check-In is required to reflect this change on the server and complete the process.

Move a versiondog component (and then check in this change on the server and remove the grayed-out component in the old location) To quickly and easily move a versiondog component in the Project tree, just follow these simple instructions.

Copy a versiondog component (and then check it in to update the server) Copying a versiondog component in the UserClient Project tree can be much faster than creating a new one. With this information, this process can be carried out efficiently and smoothly.

Using Drag and drop The default behavior of drag and drop in versiondog is the same as in a file manager between two drives. This means that the "Copy" or "Move" actions are not executed. This can be used to speed up the configuration of several components. However, it is possible to execute the "Move" action using drag and drop.

Comparison configuration in versiondog versiondog offers several ways to perform a comparison. Using the ASCII component type as an example, we compare versions, create jobs and compare backups to illustrate the possibilities of the comparison configuration.
