Changing the display of HCL VersionVault Project Explorer

View menu controls

From the View menu you can select the following options to set the display of the Project Explorer. Depending on your environment and platform, some options may not be available.

Option

Description

Toolbar

Displays the toolbar whose icons let you join a project, deliver work, rebase a stream, view properties of an object, and move one level up in the hierarchy of UCM objects.

Status Bar

Displays the status of the Project Explorer in a bar at the bottom of the window.

Large Icons

Uses large icons to display the objects that belong to the object currently selected in the Project Tree pane. For example, when you select a project in the Project Tree pane, Project Explorer displays all streams that belong to that project in the Details pane.

Small Icons

Uses small icons to display the objects that belong to the object currently selected in the Project Tree pane. For example, when you select a project in the Project Tree pane, Project Explorer displays all streams that belong to that project in the Details pane.

List

Uses a vertical list to display the objects that belong to the object currently selected in the Project Tree pane. For example, when you select a project in the Project Tree pane, Project Explorer displays all streams that belong to that project in the Details pane.

Details

For the object selected in the Project Tree pane, displays the description and date created in the Details pane.

Show My Streams Only

Displays in the Project Tree pane only the streams that you created. If your project contains many development streams, you may find it easier to work by setting this option.

Show All Project VOBs

Displays in the Project Tree pane all PVOBs in the network region. When you start Project Explorer, it shows only the last selected object during your previous Project Explorer session. To navigate in the Project Tree pane to a different PVOB, set this option.

Show Obsolete Items

Displays in the Project Tree pane objects that have been locked with the obsolete option. When you lock an HCL VersionVault object, such as a stream or a project, you can specify the obsolete option, which removes the object from Project Explorer displays.

Show My Activities Only

Limits the activities that are shown in the Details pane to those that you own. The default is to show all activities in the project. In a project with many activities, setting this option can decrease the time that Project Explorer takes to refresh the Details pane display.

Customize Activity Display

Displays the Customize Activity Display window to let you set and clear the following options:

• Set Show Activities only to limit to activities the display of information in the Details pane. Clear the option to display stream and activities information.
• Set Show Activities before Streams to have activity information appear at the top of the Details pane. Clear this option to have streams information displayed first, followed by activity information.
• Set Show Streams before Activities to have stream information appear at the top of the Details pane. Clear this option to have activity information displayed first, followed by streams information.

Refresh

Causes the Project Explorer to repaint its display to show the latest changes.

Transcript
