Project Group: Create New Group Dialog Box
See Also
The Create New Group dialog box enables you to create
groupings of projects so that you can open and close
several projects at once. In addition, each group can have
a different main project.
You can open the Create New Group dialog box
by choosing File > Project Group > New Group.
You can create the following types of groups:
- Free Group. When you create a free group,
you can choose either of the following options:
- Use Currently Open Projects.
Adds the currently open projects to the group.
- Automatically Save Project List.
Changes the contents of the project group according
to the projects that you open and close when the project
group is open.
- Project and All Required Projects.
Creates a group that consists of a master project and all
of the projects that it depends on.
- Folder of Projects. Creates a group out of
all of the projects that are within a folder you specify.
Once you have created a project group, that project group
is available in the Project Group menu. When you select a
project group from that menu, all other open projects are closed.
If you want to close all open projects, choose
File > Project Group > (none).
- If you want to create a group that contains a specific
set of projects, make sure that those projects are the only open
projects. Then choose File > Project Group > Create New Group.
In the Create New Group dialog box, select the Free Group radio button
and select the Use Currently Open Projects checkbox.
- If you do not want the contents of a free group to change as
you open and close projects, clear the Automatically Save Project List.
- If you want to modify the contents of a free group that you set up
without the Automatically Save Project List option selected, open
any projects that you want to add and close any projects that you want
to remove from the group. Then choose
File > Project Group > Properties of GroupName and click
Save Current Project List Now.
