Creating repository labels

Labels provide a way to mark a specific version of files in a repository. When a label is created, a new entry is added to the repository history. The file, and the version number, do not change. For example, label a repository that contains all the files for a testing release. Each time the build is released to testing, create a corresponding label. You can view the history to see what changed after a label was created. You can also easily recompile a specific version of the testing build.

  1. Select the repository and choose Activities > Create Label.
  2. The Create Label dialog box opens.

  3. Enter the Label.
  4. Use a meaningful label. If you are applying the label to files for release 2, use a label such as Version 2.0.

  5. Enter optional comments.
  6. Select Recursive to apply the label to the selected repository and all child repositories.
  7. Select an If label exists option.
  8. Click OK to create the label.
