Create a Subproject

Subprojects offer a convienet way to further organized files within SourceSafe, subprojects can also be thought of as subfolders/subdiretories within a file system. For instance one may have a project called ASP Application and within this Project are folders for utlities and database classes, in Source Safe these would be represented as subprojects. Another use of subprojects, as used in the example below, is to organize information, reports for example. An organization may have reports for Accounting, Human Resources, Sales and Support (Customer Support), instead of placing all reports in a Reports project subprojects (subfolders) should be created to store them and therefore keeping the information better organized.

1. To create a Subproject first click on the project in which it will be created within, in this case Reports and then right click with the mouse button. From the menu select Create Project.
   
   
   
2. As done with a main project enter in the Project (required) and Comment (highly recommended) and click OK. Notice that the title bar of the dialog displays "Create Project in $/Reports" indicating it is creating it within the Reports Project.
   
   
   
3. Below is the result after having created four subprojects within the Reports Project.
