Repository Setup

A repository is a folder location on your local computer. Within that folder location, you will set up one or multiple projects to sync. In a typical setup, a repository represents the projects (business rules, Workspace assemblies, and XF Projects) that belong in a single solution. However, you can choose to use one repository for many solution projects.

To get started in Developer Studio, complete the following steps to create a repository:

  1. Select the Add Repository button or go to File > Add Repository.

    The screen says No repositories have been added and the Add Repository button displays below

  2. In the New Repository dialog box, select the Browse The Browse icon is a black foldericon and use File Explorer to select a repository root folder.

    TIP: It is recommended that you select an empty folder the first time running Developer Studio. To prevent slow loading times, avoid selecting your user profile folder or any other high-level directory.

  3. Enter a name for the repository.

  4. Select the Save button.

    The Manage Repositories dialog box displays a repository called Line Item Modeling

NOTE: If the repository folder selected contains osmap files or .xfproj files, those items automatically display in the Repository Items grid.
