Add to Module

This topic describes the Add to Module dialog box, which appears when you specify a folder object or a set of objects including a folder and select Add to a Module. It is used to add objects as new module members in a module.

This dialog box contains controls for:

  • Adding a folder to a module.
  • Adding objects within a folder to a module.

Add recursively

Indicates whether to add only the folder or also recursively add the folder's contents. Note that folders themselves can be module members. If you checked the Add empty directories option, adding a folder without content results in creating an empty folder explicitly as a module member.

By default this is unselected.

Add empty directories

This option is used with Add recursively. When adding members recursively, any folder that contains files is added to the module. The Add empty directories option specifies whether directories without content are added to the module.

For example, if you recursively add "dirA" to a module and "dirA" contains files, and an empty subfolder "dirB". The option to Add empty directories controls whether the empty folder "dirA/dirB" is added.

By default, this is unselected.

Filter

See Filter Option.

By default, this field is empty.

Report Mode

From the pull-down, select the level of information you want to display in the output window:

  • Brief output: Lists errors generated when adding objects to the local module, and success/failure count.
  • Normal output: Lists all objects added to the local module, success/failure count, and beginning and ending messages for the add operation. This is the default output mode.
  • Verbose output: In addition to the information listed for the Normal output mode, lists:
    • Skipped objects that are already members of the module.
    • Skipped objects that are already members of a different module.
    • Skipped objects that are filtered.
    • Status messages as each folder is processed.
  • Errors and Warnings only: Lists errors generated when adding objects to the local module, and success/failure count.
