Description

Specifies the description of the new added repository.

Allow multiple checkouts

Specifies whether allowing multiple people to check out one file simultaneously in the repository. If this option is checked and the exclusive lock in the client is not enabled, SourceAnywhere will allow many people to check out the same mergeable file.

Comments required for checked in

Specifies whether comments are required for check-ins in the repository. If this option is checked, users must enter a comment for the check in command.

Enable Project Security

Specifies whether enabling project security rights for individual user and project in the repository. If this option is disabled, users will have their Default User Rights to projects.

Place the repository in different database

In the previous versions, all the repositories were stored in a same SQL Server database named "SourceAnywhere". Since version 3.0, users are allowed to place different repositories in different SQL Server databases.

This new feature gives users two benefits:

• Break through the database storage limitation of free SQL Server Express
  
  For example, if you are using SQL Server 2008 Express, you are limited to use only 4GB storage for per SQL Server database. In the previous version, all the SourceAnywhere repositories share the 4GB storage. However, since version 3.0, each of your repository is able to use 4GB storage.
   
• Facilitate individual repository backup.
  
  Since each of your repository is able to be placed in separate database, you can backup individual repository in SQL Server.

NOTE:

The repository "Default" is created during the installation of SourceAnywhere Standalone Server and it is placed in SQL Server database "SourceAnywhere" by default. You are allowed to place "Default" repository to a different datbase.
