Creating a Project

To create a project:

1.
From the Rational Statemate main window, select File > New Project or Project > Project Management, and then click New.

The Create New Project dialog box displays.
Note:
Check Expand to view Libraries and Project Members fields.
2.

Name - Enter a name for the project.

Project names must be unique at your site. Project names must begin with a letter, and can only consist of letters, numbers, and underscores (_). Lowercase letters are automatically converted to uppercase. Names in Rational Statemate, including project names, are not case sensitive and cannot contain spaces. A Rational Statemate project name can be up to 64 characters.

Do not use Caps Lock.

Manager - Enter the name of the project manager. You can select a name from the pull-down list.

Each project can only have one project manager associated with it. By default, the project manager is also a project member. The project manager does not need to be an Rational Statemate administrator.

Databank - Select an area on a shared drive to hold the project files. Click ... to browse for a directory.

CM Tool - Select a configuration management utility. Rational Statemate is selected by default though several widely-used, third-party CM tools are also supported. If you prefer a different tool, templates are available so that you can create your own script-based interface to your tool of choice. For more information, contact your sales representative.

RT Project (optional) - Enter the name of the Rational DOORS project, if the project uses Rational DOORS. For more information on Rational DOORS, see Rational DOORS RT Interface.

OS Implementation - Select the Operating System implementation from the pull-down list.

Description - Provide a brief description of the project for future reference. The description is intended primarily for libraries.

Defined As Library (optional) - If this option is selected, the project will be defined as a library, enabling its contents to be shared by other projects.

Insert Libraries (optional) - To include libraries in the project, click Insert to the right of the Libraries area and browse for libraries to include.

Insert Project Members (optional) - To add members to the project, click Insert to the right of the Project Members area. The Select member dialog box displays. Select the members to add. The application lists all the user accounts on the current system.
