_Universal: Integrating a component

To integrate a component of your choice into versiondog, proceed as follows:

1. Start the UserClient.
2. Create a new directory or subdirectory (F7) in the Project tree.
3. Click on New component (F8).
4. In the dialog Create component, located in the Project tree, select the directory and then select the component.
5. Mark the component and click on Create component.
6. Click on Show in file manager (Ctrl + E).
7. Copy the document into the file manager, save it and close the file manager.
8. Click on Create base version and Check-In.

The document is now integrated into versiondog and can be management within versiondog.

I executed a Check-In of a component that is a Documentation component type and while doing so a dialog “Unversioned changes in working directory” pops up, informing that “these unversioned changes will not be copied to the serverâ€. What changes are referred to here and how can I solve this issue?

Specific scenario

The user wishes to create and Check-In a version of a component that is a Documentation component type. The component was created with a file whose name contains a hyphen with the shortcut (ALT + 0150). When creating a new version of the component, a dialog box appears, telling you that the “unversioned changes will not be copied to the server”.

Explanation

This happens because the hyphen is not recognized with the key combination ALT + 0150 and when saving this character is replaced by another one.

Solution

If you click on Continue, the component will be saved on the server. We strongly recommend, when naming Documentationcomponent types, that you do not use the shortcut (ALT + 0150).
