View or Edit the Properties of a Project

You may want to review or modify the properties of your project. You can open the Properties dialog for the selected project. The dialog lets you modify all of the project properties except name and repository.

To view the properties of a selected project, follow these steps:

  1. Verify that the Project view is visible.

    Note: If the Project view is not visible, select Window, Show View, and then Project View.

  2. Right-click the project and select Properties.
    The Properties dialog opens showing the following fields.

    • Repository
      Displays the name of the CA Endevor SCM repository in which you are creating the project. The repository of an existing project cannot be changed.

    • Name
      Defines the name of the project you are creating in Eclipse-Based UI. Name of an existing project cannot be changed.

    • Comment
      Defines a comment about this project.

    • CCID (Optional, unless preference is set to required.)
      Defines the Change Control Identifier, which lets you relate a CCID to an action, or one activity to another.

    • System Filter Pattern
      Defines a filter pattern for CA Endevor SCM systems. This cannot be edited.

    • SubSystem Filter Pattern
      Defines a filter pattern for CA Endevor SCM subsystems. This cannot be edited.

    • Element Filter Pattern
      Defines a filter pattern for CA Endevor SCM elements. You can use a combination of wildcard (*) and placeholder (? or %) characters.

    • Type Filter Pattern
      Defines a filter pattern for CA Endevor SCM types. You can use a combination of wildcard (*) and placeholder (? or %) characters.

    • Environment Filter Pattern
      Displays the filter pattern for the CA Endevor SCM environment. Because a project is defined based on a single stage in a particular environment, the filter pattern cannot be edited.

    • Stage Filter Pattern
      Displays the filter pattern for the CA Endevor SCM stage. Because a project is defined based on the entry stage in a particular environment, the filter pattern cannot be edited. Review the properties for the selected project.

  3. Click OK to close the dialog.
    The dialog closes.
