The Label view provides a list of labels assigned to a corresponding
folder or item. In version control, the term
label corresponds to the act of attaching a view or
revision label (name) to one or more folders and/or items. You can attach a
label to almost any type of
StarTeam
item.
You can open the
Label
view by taking one of the following actions:
- Selecting
- Selecting
, and choosing
Label from the
StarTeam
tree node.
StarTeam
offers two types of labels:
- View labels, which are
automatically and immediately attached to all folders and items in a view at
the time they are created. They have multiple purposes, but are primarily used
as a time stamp for the view and as build labels.
- Revision labels, which are
not automatically attached to any item in the view. Instead, they are used to
designate a set of folders or items within a view. For example, you might want
to label a group of files that should be checked in and out together.
