Projects and folders

All objects in KCM Repository are organized in projects and folders. Projects can be grouped in project groups.

Projects and project groups

The work that you do in KCM Repository is organized in projects. In the KCM Repository structure, projects are organized in folders, containing all documents and objects related to that project. A project also contains configuration information.

You can group projects into project groups. Project groups are the top level folders in KCM Repository structure. You can navigate to a project through the project group it belongs to. You can add and remove projects from a project group using the project Configuration function.

For more information on configuration, see Configure contents.

Folders

Folders are lower level objects that can hold any KCM Repository object, such as other folders, documents, Text Blocks, and so on. To distinguish between folders that contain these different objects, folders are named, depending on the objects that they hold. For example, "Text Blocks."

You can give names to objects that you create. The maximum length of a name is 254 characters. The system removes trailing dots (.) and leading spaces in the name. Field Sets are subject to the naming rules of the Template scripting language, so they start with a capital letter and they can contain letters, digits, and underscores. Newly created objects are always locked at first, which is indicated by a lock sign. If you are the one who created the object, your user name appears between brackets next to the name of the object. Other users can only view a locked object, but they cannot edit it.
