Add SYM - You can add SYMs from multiple servers, i.e. Symitar, SymitarTest, etc. When you click Add SYM, a login dialog pops up. Enter your Server Hostname, SYM number, your AIX User Name, AIX Password and your Teller Login.
   

Mount Local Folder - This allows you to create a folder on your PC/Laptop and mount it in RepDev. If you are travelling and do not have network connection to Symitar, you can save RepGens, LetterFiles, HelpFiles and DataFiles here and edit them in the offline mode. In the offline mode, you will have syntax highlighting and auto complete, but you will not be able to Check a specfile for errors.

Add Project - If you are working on a project or a task that involves multiple RepGens, you can create a project and create/import all associated RepGens and files to keep them grouped together. When it's time to move the code into production, you can drag the project from the test SYM to the production SYM and you're done. Or you can highlight the RepGens/Files and drag them to the production SYM.
