View Tag Browser

Use the View Tag Browser to create, start, or modify a dynamic or snapshot view and perform view-related functions. (Starting a dynamic view is different from setting a view.) The View Tag Browser supports the following menus:

• File
• View
• ConfigSpec
• Admin

The View Tag Browser lists view tags, state, global path, and comments for all views on the registry server host, even if the views are not active on your workstation.

File menu

The File menu contains the following commands that control the graphical user interface.

Force on this browser

Updates Rational® ClearCase® information on this browser only.

Update browsers
