How to Create Project Packages: Creating Packages
This topic describes how to complete the Creating Packages page of the Create Project Package wizard. On this page, packages are created and you can choose to send the created packages by email to the appropriate team members. Each package is listed here. A progress bar displays as each package is created.
To complete the Creating Packages page:
- Once the package creation is complete the status next to the package name changes to Completed. If errors or warning occurred during package creation or if the package failed to create, select the package and click Show Results. The Results dialog box is displayed.
- To automatically send the package by email:
- Select the package you want to send and click Send Package by Email.
- In some situations a Microsoft Office Outlook dialog box requesting you allow access to Microsoft Outlook is displayed. Select the Allow access for check box and then select the amount of time in minutes from the drop-down list. SDL recommends that you select 10 minutes from the drop-down list.
- Click Yes. A draft email addressed to the selected user is displayed with the selected package file attached.
- Click Send to send the email and return to the Create Project Package wizard.
- Alternatively, to send the package by a different method such as placing it on a FTP site, click Open Target Folder to open the folder where your packages are saved.
- Click the Close button to close the Create Project Package wizard.
- If you are working with a server project and have no further actions that you want to perform on the files you have just edited, switch to the Files view, right-click on the files and then select Check in.
After a package is created, the manual task assigned to that package is displayed in the Sent Tasks folder on the navigation tree of the Files view.
