Unless otherwise specified, the files will be opened for addition with a default filetype assigned by P4Web, and the files will be opened for addition in the default changelist.

Open using file type:

A file's filetype indicates both how the file is handled on the client and how it is stored on the Perforce server. A filetype can be specified either alone as filetype or by specifying a base filetype and using the supported type modifiers in the form filetype+modifiers.

If you wish to explicitly specify the file type, activate the checkbox in the Options menu and enter the desired filetype in the space provided.

If you don't specify a filetype, P4Web will assign one based on its best guess as to the type of the file. This is the most common way to set a new file's type. (If you don't specify a filetype and the file doesn't yet exist in your client workspace, P4Web will assume the file to be of type text.)

Open files for add in changelist:

If you have more than one changelist pending when you run the Add command, a checkbox and a drop-down list of currently-pending changelists will appear. To open files for addition to a specific changelist, activate the checkbox and use the drop-down menu to specify the desired changelist.
