5.3.1. Arranging the Tree

From the project view, notice that "Parent" field that is available on all products, components, and projects. The "Parent" field is used to associate a project with a particular parent project and thus form a tree structure. Simply select a project from the combo-box list to be the parent, or leave it blank if it is to be a root project or product. Once saved, the project list will adjust itself according to the new hierarchy.

When in an open project, the project's parent may be changed. By changing the parent project, the tree hierarchy the relates projects to one another can be changed. To change the parent project, simply select a different project from the "Parent:" combo box, or none if no parent is wanted. Before the change takes effect, it must be saved.
