Mark an existing repository folder as a Project

If you have an existing folder structure in your Subversion repository that you want to start managing with Polarion, you can do so by specifying the root folder and telling Polarion to mark it as a Polarion project.

To create a new Project from an existing repository folder tree:

1. Log on to Polarion and click the Administration link in the tool view of Navigation. You must have global administrator permissions to access Administration.

2. In the Open Project or Project Group dialog box, click Repository.

3. In Navigation, select the Projects topic. A table of currently defined projects appears on the Projects page.

4. Click the Mark Project button located on the toolbar above the table of projects.

   The new project wizard appears titled Mark existing location as Project.

   

   (Existing repository folder.)

5. The repository root URL appears beneath the Location field. In the edit box, type the repository path to the folder you want to mark as being a Project folder. Use forward slashes (/) to separate subfolders.

   Alternatively, you can click the icon next to the edit field and use the SVN Picker dialog box to browse the repository and select the folder that is to be marked as the new project root folder.

   Warning:

   • If you're re-marking an existing project, don't change the Project ID or you'll lose its History.

   • You can't use special characters (/\©:*?"˂˃|;ˋ~'# etc.) in the Location field.

6. After selecting an existing SVN folder as a project root, you can proceed with the rest of the wizard steps to create and configure the new project. For information on the steps see: Create New Project dialog box.
