Create a number of new items by adding files in your work area to a project/stream in Dimensions CM.
The most straightforward way to do this is to have the project root folder set to a folder in your work area and upload (deliver) the new files from a folder structure beneath that folder that corresponds to their required location in the project.
In the case of a stream, you add new items by performing a deliver from a work area to which new files have been added.
To create multiple new items from files in your work area:
Copy the item files to the folder(s) in your work area corresponding to where you want them to belong within the project/stream folder structure. For details, see About Work Areas
In the desktop client, select the required project/stream and ensure that the default Work area corresponds to the correct root folder. Also, make sure your Default Design Part, Default Request, and Default Branch are set to the required values if necessary. For details, see Opening Projects and Setting Defaults.
In the My Current Project/Stream window, expand the Files and Folders node and select the folder below which the new items are to be added.
Right-click the folder and select Deliver.
The first page of the Synchronize Wizard is displayed. For more details of how to use this tool, see Using the Synchronize Wizard with a Project.
Verify the Folder and Associated Dimensions Project and click Next.
The window will display "Checking for work area differences" while processing takes place. When Dimensions CM has finished comparing the differences, the next page of the wizard is displayed containing a folder structure.
On the Defaults tab:
Enter a Comment for check in.
If necessary, enter a Request under work for the new items to be related as In Response To
If necessary, enter the Design part that will own the new items.
Click Next.
Some processing will take place and command messages appear for the items to be added.
Click Synchronize.
When it has completed, the wizard should display, at the end of the list of commands, "Synchronization is now complete". For details, see Using the Synchronize Wizard with a Project or Delivering Changes to a Stream.
Click Close.
