Adding Targets

You can add as many targets as you want to a project.

How to Add Targets

1. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:
   • Ribbon Select Project > New > Target.
   • Right-Click In the Project Organizer, right-click on the Targets folder and from the context menu select Add Target.

   The Add File dialog opens.

2. In the File Type field at the top, make sure Target is selected.
3. In the Source area, choose to create the new file based on a template or an existing file.
   • New From Template Choose either a factory template file or one of your own custom template files as a starting point. The new file will take on all of the settings contained in the template. If you want to use the factory template provided by Flare, expand the Factory Templates folder and click on a template file. If you want to use your own custom template file, expand the appropriate folder and click on a file. See Templates.
   • New From Existing Choose an existing file of the same type as a starting point for your new file. As with template files, your new file will take on all of the settings contained in the file you select. To use this option, click , use the Open File dialog to find a file, and double-click it.
4. (Optional) If you want to place the file into a subfolder previously created in the Content Explorer or Project Organizer, in the Folder field click and select the subfolder. Otherwise, keep the default location. See Creating Subfolders.
5. In the File Name field, type a new name for the target.
6. From the Output Type field, select one of the available output formats. You can always change the output type later in the Target Editor. See Determining the Output Type.
7. (Optional) If you want to apply condition tags to the file, expand the Attributes section at the bottom of the dialog. Next to the Condition Tags field, click and select the conditions you want to apply. Click OK. See Applying Conditions to Content.
8. (Optional) If you want to apply file tags, expand the Attributes section at the bottom of the dialog. Next to the File Tags field, click and select the file tags you want to apply. Click OK. See Associating Tags With Files.
9. Click Add. The target is added to the Targets folder in the Project Organizer. The Target Editor opens to the right.

What’s Next?

If you made copies of an existing target, you probably want to move on to renaming the targets. See Renaming Targets.

If you added a new target and are satisfied with the name you gave it, do one of the following.

• If you are going to produce just one output, move on to one of the other basic steps for developing a project. See Process.

  OR

• If you are going to produce more than one output, move on to creating condition tags. See Creating Conditions.
