Reviewing or Modifying View Properties

Sometimes you may want to look at the values and properties originally used to create a view. Reviewing this information may help you understand the behavior of changes within the view or the views that have been derived from it. Also, if you have access rights to do so, you may be able to modify view properties as well.

  1. Choose View > Properties. The View Properties dialog box opens.
  2. Select the Name tab to see or change the following:
    • Name and description of the view
    • Who created the view and when it was created (read-only)
    • Whether the items are set to branch on change
    • Whether a central or a per folder repository is being used
    • Working folder path
    Note: Your access rights determine which items you can change.
  3. Select the Hierarchy tab to review the list of views for this project and their relationship to one another.
  4. Select the Type tab to see:
    • View type.
    • Whether the view is a root, branching, non-derived, or a reference view.
    • For branching views, whether the original default was Branch All or Branch None.
    • Parent view on which this view was based.
    • Parent configuration used to create this view.
  5. Click OK.
