Creating a Stream

You can create new streams in the StreamBrowser™, or in the Streams pane in the File Browser.

To create a new stream:

  1. Navigate to the StreamBrowser or the Streams pane in the File Browser.
  2. Select the stream that you want as the parent of the new stream you are adding.
  3. Right-click the parent stream and choose New Stream from the context menu. Alternative: In the StreamBrowser, click the New Stream button GUID-34A40991-4FD0-44EC-B7B3-9BD4687FA7D9-low.png on the toolbar. The New Stream dialog box appears:

  4. Enter a name for the new stream. Stream names can be up to 79 characters long. They can contain upper- or lower-case letters, digits, spaces, hyphens, underscores, periods, and the + and @ characters. Names cannot begin with a digit or a period.

    The Basis field displays the parent of the stream you are adding. This field is not editable.

  5. Pick a stream type. See Adding a Stream to a Depot if you need help with this step.
  6. Choose a basis time for the new stream. See Choosing a Basis Time if you need help with this step.
  7. Click Ok. The new stream is added to the depot as a child of the stream you chose.
