RCB begins with information about Rogue Wave components, stored in an XML-based repository. This information allows RCB to tailor questions to a particular situation. General questions provide the basic information about what, where, and how the SourcePro component will be built. Module-specific questions are only asked if you select a component that needs additional information. By default, advanced questions are not displayed; RCB selects an appropriate default answer.

For questions with answers to select in a drop-down menu, only valid answers are selectable. The non-valid answers are greyed out. This can be changed, but is not recommended (see Unavailable (Greyed-out) Answers).
