Override CCID/COMMENT

Allows you to update CCID and comments from the project.

CCID

Specifies the Change Control Identifier (CCID) associated with this request. Enter a 1- to 12-character value that conforms to CCID naming conventions. A System's definition can require that you specify a CCID for any element action against any element associated with that System. If a CCID is required at the System level and you do not enter a CCID, an Action Prompt panel opens where you can add the CCID.

Comment

Specifies the comments associated with this request.

Limits: 1-50 characters that conform to the naming conventions. A system's definition can require you to specify a comment. If a comment is required an action prompt appears.

Create element from file

Creates an element with the content from a selected file.

You can also create an element from a selected file without opening it for editing. This is useful for uploading files without the need to open them.
