Assigning to components
You must assign every item on the Files/Directories and Customization tabs to a component, subcomponent, or shared component. If you try to build the project with unassigned items, the build fails and you receive an error message telling you which item is not assigned to a component.
About this task
Initially, all files and directories that appear on the Files/Directories tab are listed under the Unassigned Files and Directories folder on the Components tab. Custom extensions are not shown on the Components tab.
To assign an item to a component, use one of these methods:
- On the Components tab, drag an item out of the Unassigned Files and Directories folder into the folder of the correct component. This process is not valid for custom extensions.
- On the Details tab for the item in the item view, select a component from the Install when customer selects this component list. You must have already defined the component.
