Adding an Object to a Module

This task shows you how to add selected objects in your local workspace to a module. The locally added objects are checked into the module version that is created by your next checkin.

  • If the highlighted objects are all files, and the module context can be uniquely determined by smart module detection, the files are added without invoking the Add to Module dialog box. These results are shown in the DesignSync console view. For information on smart module detection, see the ENOVIA Synchronicity DesignSync Data Manager User's Guide.
  • If the highlighted objects are all files, and within the scope of more than one module, the Select Module Context dialog box is displayed. Once the module context is selected, the results are shown in the DesignSync console view.
  • If the highlighted object contains one or more folder objects, the Add to Module dialog displays.

Before you begin:
  • The DesignSync server must be running.
  • You must have a module populated in your workspace.
  • The objects being added must be within the scope of the base folder of the specified module. The objects can be files, directories, or collection objects.

  1. Select the object being added.
  2. Select DesignSync | Add to Module.
    This launches the Add to Module dialog, if needed.
  3. Select the appropriate Add options and select OK.
    The file decoration changes to show that the object(s) has been added to the module in the workspace.
  4. Run Checkin on the workspace when you have completed the work you want to include in the new module version. For information on using the checkin command, see Checking in Design Data.
    The output of the checkin operation is stored in the DSclipse log file and echoed to the console view. The decorations for the objects change to reflect the status of the objects.

The selected module members are added to the module on the server and a new module version is created.
