AccuRev applies validation rules during the bulk update operation, and displays an error if a rule is violated by the bulk update. The Ignore issues with validation failures checkbox skips issues with validation errors. See Understanding Issue Form Validation for more information.
The Sum Columns command allows you to easily sum certain fields for issues displayed in the Web UI. For example, you might want to sum the Dev Est Time field for the issues displayed in the Query Results pane in the Queries tab.

The Calculate Columns command allows you to perform basic mathematical operations (add and subtract, for example) on any two columns for issues displayed in the Web UI. For example, you might want to subtract the Dev Actual field from the Dev Estimate field for the issues displayed in the Query Results pane in the Queries tab.
When you execute the Calculate Columns command, AccuRev adds a new column to the table to display the result of the calculation. You can name this column at the time you specify the calculation.

Show Percentages (
) toggles the display of percentage information for columns that contain numeric data. If you have specified the display of Groups (see the next section), the Count column also toggles to percentages. This is useful for columns such as “estimated time” to see which issues in the current table are expected to take up the most development time. See Group Issues by Field below for more details.

This is useful for columns such as “estimated time” to see which issues in the current table are expected to take up the most development time. See Group Issues by Field below for more details.This command can be invoked via the Group by drop-down list on the issue list toolbar. The drop-down shows the issue fields that these issues can be grouped by. Choose a field to group the issues by that field.
The resulting issue list shows one line for each value of the chosen field. A Count column is added to the grouped issue list, which contains the number of issues for each value of the chosen field.
To toggle the display in this column to show percentages, click the

When the Group By option is in effect, three graphical chart options—bar, pie, and line—become available on the toolbar and the context menu, allowing you to display query results in a graphical format.

Pie Chart 
Line Chart 
The field that the issues are grouped by creates the horizontal axis of the bar chart or the labeled sections of the pie chart. The leftmost column with summed data creates the vertical axis of the bar and line charts or the sizing for the wedges of the pie chart. This value can be changed using the Column drop-down list on the chart's toolbar.

Note: If the field used to create the group changes—if you remove it from the columns displayed for the query results or change the Group By value, for example—the URL will no longer work.
This command allows you to specify a default query—the query that is run automatically when you open the Query Browser. The name of a query that has been specified as the default query is bold and italicized in the Query List Pane. You can invoke the Set as Default command from the context menu in the Query List pane.
By default, queries you create are private—they are accessible only by you. This command allows you to make a private query a public query. Public queries are accessible by all AccuRev users.

This command runs the selected query and displays the resulting issues in the Query Browser or New Query Tab tab. It is invoked from the toolbar button or the context menu in the Query List pane.
This command saves any changes to queries that you have made in the Query Browser, such as Set as Private/Set As Public commands to change the status of your queries (see Set as Public and Set as Private).
Each user's private queries are stored separately. The <username> directory in the query storage path name causes the private queries for each user to be stored separately.
This command shows the entries currently in the change package for the selected issue. You can run this command from context menus and toolbars in the Query Browser and Show Active Issues.
Entries are included for elements in the change package only if they were promoted to the stream, but have not yet been promoted from the stream to its parent. This helps you to concentrate on current programming efforts, rather than those that were completed long ago.
Note: For the purposes of the display on this tab, a Revert to Backed operation has the same effect as a Promote operation. For a workspace, substitute the phrase "created in" for "promoted to".
The Show Active Issues command displays in the Issues tab the active issues for the current stream. An issue in a stream is considered to be active if the change package associated with the issue has had one or more of its versions promoted to the stream, but has not yet been promoted from the stream to its parent.
Tip: You can display active issues for an individual stream by choosing Show Active Issues from the context menu for that stream. You can also change the display mode for all streams in the StreamBrowser by clicking the Active Issue Mode button (
) on the StreamBrowser.
) on the StreamBrowser.Note: The Issues tab will not display any issues if you invoke Show Active Issues on a snapshot, since nothing can be promoted to a snapshot.
Click an issue in the Issues pane to display the items currently in its change package in the Change Package Contents pane. This pane lists the file name, version, and basis version for each element in the change package.

Incomplete issues are shown by default and can be excluded by clearing the Include Incomplete Issues checkbox. (An issue is incomplete when some, but not all, of its change package entries are in the stream.) When the checkbox is selected, the Complete column appears and shows the incomplete issues with a grey background in the Issues pane. When an incomplete issue is selected, the missing versions will be shown with a grey background on the Change Package Contents pane. In addition, the Status column on that pane will read (Missing) for each missing version.

In the StreamBrowser, change to the Active Issue display mode by clicking the Active Issue Mode button (
) in the upper right corner of the StreamBrowser. |
If any unaffiliated changes exist in the stream, the issue table gains an extra row labeled "NONE". (This is true regardless of how you display the issues table.) If your table layout includes a second column (in this example, the column Complete), AccuRev displays "UNAFFILIATED CHANGES" in the row. Clicking anywhere in the row displays the unaffiliated elements. For each unaffiliated element, examine its history to determine how best to manage it—you might decide that you need to promote a file to an issue to correct the problem, for example.
For more information on working with unaffiliated changes, see the topic Patches and Change Packages topic in the Java GUI online help.
