Detaching Labels from Folders

If you decide not to include certain folders in a view or revision label, you can detach the label from those 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 a folder and its contents:

Select a folder in the Server Explorer or the Eclipse Explorers.
Choose StarTeam > Folder > Labels. The Properties dialog box opens.
Select the Labels node. The Labels page of the Properties dialog box lists the labels currently attached to this folder.
Select the label to be detached from the folder.
Click Detach.
Optionally, if you are detaching a revision label, select one of the following options:
- Folder Only
- Folder And Items Contained In Folder
- Everything In Subtree Rooted At Folder
Click OK.

Note: When you detach a view label from a folder, the label is automatically detached from the items that the folder contains. It is also automatically detached from the child folders and their contents.

The folder from which the label is detached will disappear after a refresh.
