About views and view directories

A view provides access to one version of each element in your project. In DevOps ClearCase® Explorer (Windows), the view presents the elements in a tree format in the folders pane.

In UCM, a developer's work area contains two views:

Every view has a view storage directory. DevOps Code ClearCase uses this directory to keep track of information such as which files are loaded into your view (for snapshot views only) and which versions are checked out to it. The view storage directory is for DevOps Code ClearCase administrative purposes only. Do not modify anything in it.
