The following describes the view configuration options available in the
New View Wizard.
- Floating Configuration
- Not recommended. All the items in the new view will be identical to the corresponding items in the current parent view. Changes
to an item in the parent view will be made to the corresponding item in the new view until that item branches, while changes
to an item in the new view will be reflected in the parent until the item in the new view branches. (In many cases, the first
change to that item will result in branching). New items in the parent view will appear in a branching view. However, new
items added to a branching view will appear in the parent view only if the new view is the
Branch none type.
- Labeled Configuration
- All the items in the new view will have had the specified label in the parent view. In all cases, the revision of the item
to which the label was attached is the tip revision in the new view. This option is disabled if the parent view has no view
labels. Changes to the parent view do not affect the new view, including changes to the label upon which the view is based.
Unless an item is set to
Branch on change in the new view, it will be read-only and you cannot change it.
- Promotion State Configuration
- All the items in the new view will have been part of the specified promotion state in the parent view. In all cases, the revision
of the item that was part of the promotion state is the tip revision in the new view. This option is disabled if the parent
view has no promotion states defined for it. Changes to the parent view will not affect the new view, including changes to
the promotion state or its assigned label. Unless a specific item is set to
Branch on change in the new reference view, it will be read-only and you cannot change it.
- Configuration As Of
- The new view will contain only the items that existed at the date and time you specify. In all cases, the tip revision of
each item in the new view is the revision closest to, but before, the specified time. Changes to the parent view will not
affect the new view. Unless a specific item is set to
Branch on change in the new view, it will be read-only and you cannot change it.
