Review view type
On this page of the wizard, examine the list of attached views and review or modify the type of view that the wizard creates.
Attached views
To examine the list of attached views, click one of the following:
- All Attached Views
- Displays the views that are currently attached to the stream named under Development Stream.
- My Attached Views
- Displays the views that you own and are currently attached to the stream named under Integration Stream. This stream is either the project integration stream or the feature-specific development stream at which you are joining the project.
Because the wizard must access each view host, generating the lists could take some time. If there are no attached views or if the view hosts cannot be accessed, you see a No Attached Views message.
View types
If you join a multiple-stream project, to modify project source files, you need two views:
- Development view. Any changes you check in from the development
view remain isolated from the rest of the project until you deliver them.
After you create the development view, you create the integration view.
- Integration view. Use the integration view to verify that your delivered changes build successfully with the work that other team members deliver to the parent stream.
If you join a single-stream project, you use only an integration view, which is attached to the project integration stream. Your work area is the integration view. When you check in your changes, they are immediately available in the integration stream.
In Type, set which type of view that the wizard creates:
- Dynamic
- Snapshot
Your project manager or system administrator determines the default view types based on your network configuration and performance.
Because a dynamic view can show changes in its attached stream at all times without requiring an update, use dynamic views for your integration views whenever they are available.
