About displaying UCM activities records
Under Workspace in the Rational® ClearQuest® client, you see two high-level folders, Personal Queries and Public Queries. The Public Queries folder typically contains database search requests provided with the software and by your project administrator.
When you run a query, the result set displays data from activity records returned from the Rational ClearQuest user database, one line per record. Filters defined in the query limit the number of records returned. If you run a query without any filters, all of the records in the database are returned.
The Record form, displayed below the Query builder pane, shows data and state information for the activity record whose line is selected in the result set. Clicking another line updates the Record form with information for the newly selected record. Access different fields and state information by clicking tabs in the Record form. The tabs available vary based on integration support. When you click a tab whose area is not visible, the software accesses and displays the related information from the database.
Typically, entries in Public Queries are read-only. However, you can modify a public query for your personal use. For example, you could run a public query that finds all open defects for all components. Then, you could click Query editor in activity details to modify the filters to find such records for just your components. You can run a modified query to sample its results. When you are satisfied, you can save it under a folder in Personal Queries. You can also export queries to a file to share them with other users.
Controlling the result set display
Click Display editor to control which fields are displayed in each line for records returned in queries. Double-click a column heading to change the sort order of the column. You can also right-click to use commands on a shortcut menu.
Controlling record content
Buttons to the right of the record form provide commands used to modify fields and transition records. Commands available on these buttons vary with the integrations distributed with DevOps Code ClearCase®. A control in the bottom left corner of the record form allows you to single-step through records in a result set, jump to the first or last record, and provide an ID of any record to retrieve.
