Creating Project Groups in the Built-In System

Each SCC project consists of a top-level VI, all or some of its subVIs, and extra files associated with the project. However, some development projects you work on might have more than one top-level VI. In these cases, you can use project groups to make it more convenient to retrieve and manipulate files from multiple projects.

Note  Another way to identify groups of files is by labeling them. This feature is appropriate for setting versions of files but you can also use it to collectively track different projects.

Complete the following steps to create a project group.

  1. Select Tools»Source Code Control»Launch SCC Provider to open the Source Code Control window.
  2. In the SCC window, select Project»New Project Group to display the SCC Edit Project Group dialog box.
  3. Enter a name for the group and select the projects that the group will contain. Project groups can contain any number of projects and can also contain references to other project groups.
  4. Click the Save button.
