Creating Revision Labels

Like view labels, new revision labels can be created from the View menu. In fact, if you are creating a new revision label based on an existing revision label in another view, you must use the View menu for this purpose. However, revision labels can also be created from the Folder Tree menu, a component menu, or the context menu.

  1. Select the folder in the Server Explorer or the Eclipse Explorers that contains the item to modify.
  2. Select an item in the Server Explorer or in one of the Eclipse Explorers.
  3. Choose StarTeam > View > Labels from the main menu.

    The Properties dialog box opens.
  4. Click the Revision tab. The labels are listed in reverse chronological order based on the time at which they were created.
  5. Type a name and description for the label. The maximum name length is 64 characters and the description length is 254 characters.
  6. Optionally, check Frozen to freeze the label so that revisions attached to it cannot be changed.
  7. Click OK.
