Create a stream depot
A stream depot is a container for streams. Helix server streams provide the "mainline" approach to managing groups of related files, which makes it easier to administrate a project from development to releases. For more information, see Streams in Helix Core Overview.
-
In Helix Admin, select File > New > Depot.
TipYou can open Helix Admin from P4V by selecting Tools > Administration.
-
In the New Depot dialog, enter an indicative name for the stream depot, such as project1, and click OK.
-
In the Depot: New window, provide the following information:
-
Owner: The user who owns the depot. By default, this is the user who created the depot.
-
Depot type: chose stream.
ImportantFor simplicity, this example has a stream depth of
1
, which is fine for a quick proof of concept. If you want to keep your initial efforts as real work for a product, see Working with stream depots in the Helix Core Command-Line (P4) Reference, decide on the optimal stream depth for your particular project.Be aware that stream depth, once assigned, cannot be changed.

It is a best practice to set up a stream depot per project and name it accordingly.
