Setting File Status Storage for a Specific View

Normally, this view property defaults to the storage method that you have selected as a personal option. You can, however, select a storage method for a specific view. If you do so, this setting takes precedence over the personal option.
  1. Choose View > Properties . The View Properties dialog box opens.
  2. Select Central or Per Folder in the File Status Repository group.
    Central
    If several users all check files in and out of StarTeam from a shared working folder, file statuses are stored on each of their computers. Whenever a user makes a change to a file in the working folder, the status for that file is updated only on that user's computer. Everyone else sees the status Unknown for that file. Over time, all the files may have been changed, and the statuses can become Unknown for all users of all files.
    Per Folder
    Most useful in the case where multiple users are sharing a working folder because it causes the statuses to be updated within the working folder itself. Everyone has access to those status changes and Unknown statuses do not occur.
