2.4 Adding Version-Selection Rules

Development projects often require team members to add specific version-selection rules to your view's config spec. This manual assumes that someone in your organization creates these rules, and you must either paste them into your config spec or add an inclusion rule so that your config spec includes them from a config spec available over the network. For information on creating version-selection rules, see Managing Software Projects.

To Paste or Include Version-Selection Rules

1. In the View Creation Wizard, click Finish.

2. In the Confirm dialog box, click Inspect Config Spec; in the Config Spec Editor, click Edit.

3. In the Config Spec Editor, do any of the following:

• Paste the rules from the Windows clipboard into the Config Spec Editor. Ask the author of the shared config spec whether you need to include any rules other than the ones you paste.

• Type on its own line include path-to-shared-config-spec. Ask the author of the shared config spec whether you need to include any rules other than the include rule.

4. Click OK.

5. In the Confirm dialog box, do one of the following:

• For snapshot views, take note of the path for the view's root directory. This is the directory from which you access source files and directories. Then click OK to select elements to load into the view.

• For dynamic views, take note of any drive letter you assigned. Then click OK. By default, ClearCase starts the view.
