Annotate History
The Annotate History view displays the ClearCase history of the annotated element
in a table with the following columns:
- Version: The ClearCase version identifier
- Labels: All labels that are attached to the version
- Timestamp: The timestamp when the version was created
- Author: The user id of the author who created the version
- Comments: The comments for the version
The entry in bold face is the version that is selected by the ClearCase view. The
entry that is selected in the table changes with the version belonging to the cursor
position in the Annotate Editor.
Below the table there are two text fields. The text field in the lower left corner displays
all labels that are attached to the version that is selected in the table. The text field in the lower
right corner shows the full comment attached to the selected version.
You can use the following buttons in the toolbar of the Annotate History view:
Refresh History: The history for the selected ClearCase element
is fetched again and displayed.
Link with Editor and Selection: When enabled, the view will
display the history for the ClearCase element that is displayed in the active editor or of the active selection.
Group Versions by Date: When enabled, all history items will be
sorted into one of the following date categories:
- Today
- Yesterday
- This Month
- Previous
Collapse All: While the view is in the
Group Versions by Date mode, Collapse All will collapse all of the date categories.
A right-click on an entry in the table opens a context menu with the entries Refresh History
and Show Annotation. The Refresh History entry will reload the history of the ClearCase
element from its VOB.
The Show Annotation entry will open the Annotate Editor
for the selected version. This makes it possible to quickly view any desired version
of the ClearCase element in the Annotate Editor. In the example the user had
selected version /main/5 of the ClearCase element displayed in the Annotate
Editor, and clicked on the Show Annotation entry in the popup menu. The title
of the Annotate Editor displays the version-extended pathname of the ClearCase
element:
