Starting Dynamic views

Start an existing Dynamic view to access source files.

About this task

When using Dynamic views, the VOB you are accessing must be mounted and the Dynamic view must be started.

Procedure

  1. To start a Dynamic view, select My Views in the VersionVault Navigator and right-click.
  2. Select Start Dynamic View from the context menu.
    The Start view dialog box list the dynamic views that are available to you.
  3. In the Start view dialog box, select the dynamic view you want to start and click OK.
    The dynamic view you selected appears under My Views in the VersionVault Navigator.
    Note: After you create a Dynamic view, you can access it in the VersionVault Navigator under the My Views node. If your Dynamic view does not appear for any given session, right-click the My Views node in the VersionVault Navigator and select Start Dynamic View from the context menu. Once the view has been started, expand the view name node. If the node is empty, the VOB is not mounted. To mount the VOB, click the View Menu option list icon (the small, inverted triangle) that is associated with the VersionVault Navigator and select the Unmounted VOBs option. After the VOB name appears under the Dynamic view, click the VOB name to automatically mount the VOB. If, however, you have previously performed an Unmount VOB operation on that VOB, it is not automatically mounted when you select it. Instead, you must right-click the VOB name and select Mount VOB from the context menu.
