Package Properties Dialog Box

Requires: Application Builder or Professional System (Windows)

From the Project Explorer window, right-click Build Specifications and select New»Package from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box. You also can right-click a package specification name under Build Specifications and select Properties from the shortcut menu, or double-click the package specification name to display this dialog box.

Note  If you previously hid Build Specifications in the Project Explorer window, you must display the item again to access it.

Use this dialog box to create or configure settings for a package.

The Package Properties dialog box includes the following pages:

• Information
• Destinations
• Source Files
• Shortcuts
• Package
• Dependencies
• Version Information
• Advanced
• Package Installer
• Feed
• Web Services

The bottom of the Package Properties dialog box includes the following buttons:

• Build—Updates the LabVIEW project with the current build specification settings, closes the dialog box, and builds with the current settings.
  
  Clicking Build does not save the settings to disk. You must save the project in order to save the build specification settings. If you enable the Auto increment checkbox on the Version Information page, LabVIEW creates a new package file that includes the version number every time you rebuild a package build specification.
• OK—Updates the project with the current build specification settings and closes the dialog box without performing a build. Clicking OK does not save the settings to disk. You must save the project in order to save the build specification settings.
• Cancel—Cancels the build specification settings you changed and closes the dialog box.
