The following controls are displayed in the ClearCase Explorer dialog box.
| Column name | Displays |
|---|---|
| Display tool tips in ClearCase Navigator and ClearCase Details views | Click to specify that hovering over an object with the cursor in the ClearCase Navigator view or in the ClearCase Details view produces additional information about the current object. |
| Preserve version creation time when files are updated or loaded from the server | By default, the last modified time of a ClearCase element is the time when the element was last loaded, updated, or restored. To specify the modified time of the element as the last modified time of that version in the VOB, click the Preserve version creation time when files are updated or loaded from the server preference. Note that this preference setting can also affect an Undo Checkout or Undo Hijack operation. Undoing a hijack operation reloads the corresponding version from the server and restores the last modified time as specified by this preference setting. Likewise, undoing a checkout operation restores the corresponding version of the element and also restores the last modified time according to this preference setting. |
| Preserve modification time when checking in files and adding new files to source control | By default, the last modified time of a ClearCase element is the time it was last checked in. To preserve the last modified time during a checkin operation or when adding resources to source control, click the Preserve modification time when checking in files and adding new files to source control preference. |
| Decorate view names with server names and connection status in ClearCase Navigator | Click to append the name of the ClearCase Remote Client server and its connection status to the names of each of your ClearCase views. |
| Restore Defaults | Click to restore the default settings to the ClearCase Explorer preferences page. |
| Apply | Click to apply any changes you have specified while leaving open the Preferences window. |
| OK | Confirms the operation and closes the window. |
| Cancel | Cancels the operation. |
