Workspace Options

Delete: Displays a Confirm dialog box for deletions.
Move/Share: Displays a Confirm dialog box for move and share operations.
Warnings: Displays a Confirm dialog box for warnings.

Toolbars: Displays Toolbars.
Status bar: Displays the Status Bar.
Custom tools: Displays custom tools created as part of StarTeam Extensions. If no custom tools are configured, clear the Custom tools check box to prevent custom tools from attempting to load with each view window.
Show history times as UTC: Displays time stamps in the Time column of the history pane in UTC times. UTC times end in “Z” to differentiate them from local times (Z stands for the "zero meridian", which goes through Greenwich, England). Displays time stamps in local time when unchecked.
Sort view labels by name: Automatically sorts view labels alphabetically.

Restore folder selection on tab change

Returns StarTeam to the last folder that was selected for a specific component tab. If you have not selected a particular tab in this session, StarTeam automatically selects the root folder for the view.

Reset scope to local on folder change

Resets the All Descendants button on the toolbar every time you change a folder. This saves you the time StarTeam would take to scan items. If unchecked, you must select the button manually.

Maintain group state on folder/scope change

Keeps your place in the upper pane even when you change folders or reset the All Descendants button. If unchecked, all groups collapse when you make a folder or scope change.

Open URL in new window

The default setting for the way a view displays in your workspace when you open a URL link. When this check box is selected, any StarTeam view you open via a URL opens in a new window.

Automatic refresh with maximum delay of ___ minutes

Specifies the maximum number of minutes between refreshes of your project. This refresh is the equivalent of pressing Shift + F5 and updates the Folder Tree and the upper pane. It happens every X minutes unless an operation by the user such as pressing Shift+F5 forces a refresh and resets the timer.

Automatic refresh is designed to perform even if the client is minimized. When Automatic refresh enabled, if the network is down, Automatic refresh will attempt to refresh the data in the client resulting in a connection error.

Restore shortcuts at startup

Reopen at startup any views that were left open when you exited the application the previous time.

Sort open windows by name

If checked, sorts the opened windows by name. By default, windows are sorted by the order in which they are opened.

Report output path: Specifies the name and path to which your reports should be sent

Log output path

Specifies the name and path for your StarTeam.Log files. The StarTeam.Log file contains data about operations sent from your workstation to one or more servers, depending on what project views you have open. The data includes the name of the project so that you can isolate data for a particular server when necessary.

Log errors

Records errors that occur while you are using the client application. The errors log lists the date and time you started your server configuration and any errors or failed operations between the server and client. The application identifies each failed operation by an internal ID and provides an explanation. For example, you might see: ...Operation 40956 failed: TCP/IP Socket Error 10054:.... If you are logging both errors and operations, the application also logs the operation that the server was performing at the time of the error.

Log operations and events that take at least ___ (milliseconds)

Specifies that StarTeam should record file operations and/or events that take at least the specified number of milliseconds, and should send them to the .log files. The milliseconds time setting stops the log from filling up with operations and events of little importance. The default, 10 milliseconds, is a reasonable setting.

The Summary option includes a breakdown of the time spent on the client and the server for each operation, and the Details option lists the server commands along with the summary.

This option records information on the date, time, and UI Operation number for each command executed by your workstation. Operations can be executed on either the server or the client.

Log events

Specifies that StarTeamMPX events should be sent to the .log files. The log identifies the time and date on which a StarTeamMPX event (an automatic refresh or file status update) took place. The log prefaces a StarTeamMPX event as Statistics for Events and uses internal IDs and brief explanations to identify the server event.

The following example describes a status change for a file: ...Statistics for Events /1b21dd1-e208-51ea-01b2-1dd1e20851ea/Object/File/ Modify.

You can log StarTeamMPX events only if you check Enable MPX on the MPX tab in the Personal Options dialog box. For StarTeamMPX related operations, any changes you make on the Workspace tab do not apply to projects already open. However, the application will log StarTeamMPX events for any projects you open after checking this option.
