ClearCase preferences store for cellview editors

Designers can set ClearCase® preferences for cellview editors. Once set, these preferences remain persistent.

Using the Command Interpreter Window (CIW) to access the preferences store

To set ClearCase preferences for cellview editors, in the Virtuoso Command Interpreter Window (CIW) use the ClearCase Preferences dialog box: ClearCase > Preferences.

When you select Preferences, the ClearCase Preferences dialog box opens.

Cellview editor preferences

The ClearCase Preferences dialog box includes options to control display of ClearCase-specific information in the title and banner area of Virtuoso cellview editors.

For the very first invocation, the DM state remains checked. Cellview editors display DM state information in the editor's title area. Thereafter, any user modification to the preference options will be preserved. Selecting Defaults on the ClearCase Preferences dialog box rolls back the ClearCase field visibility to only DM State.

Using the Cellview editor to access the preferences store

To set ClearCase preferences through cellview editors, in the cellview editor, select ClearCase > Display Fields to open the ClearCase Display Fields/Preferences dialog box.

The most recent user changes to the display preferences will be shown by the ClearCase Display Fields/Preferences dialog box. You can change selections here to update the cellview editor with new preferences.

If multiple cellview editors are opened, only the editor where the display preferences are modified will be affected. The other open cellview editors must use ClearCase > Refresh to see any updated preferences.
