Project Map File Includes/Excludes

By default, when a project is mapped, all files are included in the synchronization. In cases where you only want certain directories or file types, you can explicitly include/exclude any file type/directory from a synchronization for a project map.

For example, if an include directory is TEST/BANKDEMO, then all files contained in that directory only will be synchronized.

Similarly, if an include directory is TEST/BANKDEMO and the exclude directory is TEST/BANKDEMO/ACCTS, then all files in TEST/BANKDEMO will be synchronized except for the files in TEST/BANKDEMO/ACCTS.

You can also restrict the files to be synchronized by specifying file-extensions to be included and excluded.

Use the Include or Exclude icons on the Selected Projects lists:

For the highlighted columns above:

Click one of the icons to either add or edit an Includes or Excludes for a directory or an extension.

When values have been set for the project map, the icon is blue.
