View with internal viewer
Select any file revision in the revision list
and select the 'view' tab below. The file contents are
shown in the tabbed pane. The viewer supports ASCII text
and over 90 graphic file formats.
View with 3rd party software
Select any checked in or
unmounted file
revision in the revision list and select 'view' from the
right click menu. The default viewer software for the file
type (as defined by the file suffix) is launched for a
read only copy of the file. If more than one viewer is
defined the 'View With' option allows you to select the
one required. See
options editor for information on specifying the
viewers for a file type. If the file revision is mounted
and checked out the 'View' and 'View With' options are
replaced by 'Edit' and 'Edit With'.
Checkout for editing
Checkout prepares files on a user's computer
for editing. Select any
mounted checked
in file revision in the revision list and select
'checkout' from the right click menu. After
specifying a comment a new file revision is created in a
checked out state and the local copy of the file marked
writeable.
You can checkout an old file revision, in which case the
checked out file has the contents of the old revision.
This is useful to back out changes. To back out a group of
files related to a change use the
regress option.
Checkin after editing
Checkin indicates the completion of changes to
a file. Select any
mounted checked out file revision in the revision list
and select 'checkin' from the right click menu. The
file revision status is changed to checked in, the local
copy of the file marked read only and the changed file
saved in the central database.
Uncheckout
Uncheckout discards changes to a checked out
file. Select any
mounted checked out file revision in the revision list
and select 'uncheckout' from the right click menu. A copy
of the changed file is saved on the server, the checked
out file revision is discarded and the local copy of the
file is returned to the state that existed before the
checkout, delete, merge or add operation that checked out
the file.
Edit with
3rd party software
Select any checked out
mounted file
revision in the revision list and select 'edit' from the
right click menu. The default editor software for the file
type (as defined by the file suffix) is launched for the
local instance of the file. If more than one editor
is defined the 'Edit With' option allows you to select the
one required. See
options editor for information on specifying the
editors for a file type. If the file revision is unmounted
or checked in the 'Edit' and 'Edit With' options are
replaced by 'View' and 'View With'.
Delete
Delete creates a checked out delete marker
revision in the database, and if the file is
mounted it is
deleted from the user's computer. The delete operation is
completed by checking in the delete marker revision.
Select any file and select 'delete' from the right click
menu.
RenameCodeMatrix
file rename operations create a delete file revision for
the original and create a new file revision with the new
name. If the file is checked out it is checked in first
before the rename operation. Select any file that is not
mounted on
another computer and 'rename' from the right click menu.
