VersionVault UCM component properties

Use the HCL VersionVault UCM component properties page to view or edit properties of a UCM component.

The scope of a UCM project is declared in terms of components. A project must contain at least one component, and it can contain multiple components. Projects can share components. An ordinary component groups directory and file elements. The directory and file elements of a component are stored in a VOB. The component object is stored in a project VOB (PVOB).

A component's root directory must be the VOB's root directory or one level beneath it. If a component is made at the VOB's root directory, that VOB can never contain more than that one component.
