Click Create Element from the pop-up menu.
The Create Element dialog opens.
Fill in the dialog and click OK.

Note: Do not use the Add To CA Endevor SCM Action under Team to add the Created element into CA Endevor SCM. To Add the created file keep the option Add file without editing enabled or follow the Edit an Element process to initiate the Add to CA Endevor SCM Action

Override CCID/COMMENT
Allows you to update CCID and comments from the project.
CCID
Specifies the Change Control Identifier (CCID) associated with this request. Enter a 1- to 12-character value that conforms to CCID naming conventions. A System's definition can require that you specify a CCID for any element action against any element associated with that System. If a CCID is required at the System level and you do not enter a CCID, an Action Prompt panel opens where you can add the CCID.
Comment
Specifies the comments associated with this request.
Limits: 1-50 characters that conform to the naming conventions. A system's definition can require you to specify a comment. If a comment is required an action prompt appears.
Create element from file
Creates an element with the content from a selected file.
You can also create an element from a selected file without opening it for editing. This is useful for uploading files without the need to open them.
