Promoting View Labels

You can promote a view label from one promotion state to the next if you have the appropriate access rights, and when it satisfies the criteria established for that state.

  1. Choose StarTeam > View > Promotion or StarTeam > View > Properties Alternative 1: In Server Explorer, right click on the view node, and choose Promotion or Properties. Alternative 2: In the Navigator or Package Explorers, right click on the project, and choose Properties or Team > Labels. The Properties dialog box opens.
  2. In the resulting dialog box, do one of the following:
    • If opened from the Navigator or Package Explorers, expand StarTeam Provider and select Promotion.
    • If opened from the StarTeam main menu or StarTeam, select Promotion.
    The states are displayed from the final state down to the initial state.
  3. Select the promotion state currently associated with the view label that you want to promote.
  4. Click Promote. The dialog box indicates that the view label is now associated with the next state (the state immediately above the selected state in the Properties dialog box).
  5. Click OK.
The view label now applies to both the original state and the new state. Usually, your next action is to associate a new view label with the original state.
