To select and load elements in a snapshot view (Windows)

After you set up version-selection rules for a snapshot view, the View Creation wizard starts the VOB Namespace Browser.

In the Choose Elements to Load window, you select the files and directories to load into the view.

To choose the elements you want to load into your view, browse through the Available Elements list. To load an element, move it to the Selected Entries list. Keep the following in mind:

• If you load a directory element, all of its files and subdirectories are loaded into the view.
• If you load a specific file element, only that file is loaded into the view. To maintain the path to the file, the empty directories leading up to the VOB directory are also copied into the view.

For each element specified in the Entries to Load field, the View Creation wizard adds a load rule to your config spec.

Using these rules, the directory element \design\func_specs and every element below it are loaded, along with the file element \dev\hello_world\src\lib.c. To maintain the path to lib.c, the View Creation wizard creates the directory \dev\hello_world\src in the view.
