Administering HCL VersionVault
Learn about performing administrative tasks for an HCL VersionVault community including managing software licenses, user and group accounts, VersionVault server and client hosts, shared data, and the network that connects them.
Views and view administration
A view provides a workspace where users access versions of file and directory elements that are under HCL VersionVault control. Views can also contain view-private file system objects (such as ordinary files and directories) that are not under HCL VersionVault control.
Dynamic views
A dynamic view is an MVFS directory that enables dynamic access to VOB elements.
The view root
Every dynamic view on a host is displayed as a subdirectory of the host’s view root directory.
Changing the default view root
You might need to change the default view root to avoid a conflict with an existing directory or network name.
