Detaching Labels from Items

If you decide not to include certain items in a view or revision label, you can detach the label from those items individually or as a group. Generally, labels are detached from files or folders.

Note: You can attach and detach any labels from items in current view configurations, but you cannot see deleted items in those configurations. You can detach view labels from deleted items only if you roll back the view to a configuration based on the label you want to detach.

To detach a view or revision label from selected items

Select one or more items in the Server Explorer or in one of the Eclipse Explorers.
Select a folder from the folder tree or in the upper pane on the Folder tab.
Click a component tab in the upper pane and select an item.
Right-click the selected items and choose Labels > Detach .
The Detach a Label dialog box opens and displays all existing labels, identifying them as view or revision labels. By default, both View Labels and Revision Labels are checked.
Optionally, uncheck either View Labels or Revision Labels to limit the display list to a specific type of label.
Select a label from the list.
Click OK.
