Snapshot view options
These options control the information that the Folder and Details panes display for UCM and non-UCM elements.
- Set Show nonloaded snapshot view elements to
display in the Folder and Details panes all file and directory versions that
are in your stream (in UCM) or that the version selection rules select (in
base ClearCase),
regardless of whether you have loaded the corresponding element into your
snapshot view.
In the Details pane, an icon in the Details column indicates whether the element is loaded.
Clear this option to display only the files and directories that are loaded into your view.
- Set Show nonloaded VOBs in snapshot views to display in the
Folder and Details panes all elements in all VOBs in the current network region, regardless of
whether the elements are loaded in your view and, in UCM, regardless of whether the VOB contains a
component that is in your project.
For a base ClearCase snapshot view, ClearCase Explorer shows the set of versions that the version selection rules for your view select.
For a UCM snapshot view, ClearCase Explorer uses the version selection rules to select versions in the stream to which the view is attached. If the VOB is not a part of the UCM project, the set of versions that ClearCase Explorer displays may not be a self-consistent set.
- To filter the list to show only those VOBs that were created
as a public VOB if you set Show nonloaded VOBs in snapshot views,
set Of those nonloaded VOBs in snapshot views, show only the public
VOBs.
The public attribute indicates that the VOB creator intends for the development team to use the VOB. The private attribute indicates that the VOB creator intends to be sole user of the VOB (for example, creating a private VOB to experiment with VOB creation).
