In aqua, you can work with different projects at the same time. So you can have different projects with different configurations, but you can also have different projects with shared configurations. You can create new projects and decide which configuration should be chosen to configure your individual project based on your specific needs.
Unlinked Projects
Start the Project Wizard by clicking on the button New and then select Project.
In the field Project name please insert your project name. Select a source project in the select-box. Then, click on OK. Your new project has the same configuration as the selected source project now. If you choose (default), your configuration will refer to the aqua default project.
If you choose a real existing project in aqua (not the default template), you have the option to copy items into the project. Your requirements, test cases, test scenarios and defects are copied into your new project from the source project. Now you can find your new project in your aqua environment with the same configuration as your source project.
Shared Projects
A project configuration can be shared. That means that a project has the same configuration as the master project. If the master project configuration is changed, this change will be reflected in the linked project as well. All configurations have to be made in the master project and cannot be changed in the linked project. In order to create a linked project, choose the option Share template with selected project (do not create copy) in the project wizard and select a master project.
Important note: If two projects are sharing the same configuration, the dependency between both projects can not be deleted. If you want to separate a shared configuration between two projects, we recommend to create a new project based on the given project and copy all items into that project. This process can take several time, but at the present it is the only way to separate a shared configuration.
