The View Profile Explorer allows you to locate or
define view profiles. View Profiles encapsulate the details of how development
teams use ClearCase to configure their work environments. For example:
- A team leader defines a View Profile for use by the team.
- Each team member creates a view based on the team View Profile
and uses that view to perform project work.
- A team member who wants to work in isolation sets up a private
branch in the view and does work there. The rest of the team does not have
access to the work on the private branch.
- The team member finishes work on the private branch, which
reverts her view to the one based on the View Profile. If she chooses to merge
the work done on the private branch back to the team branch,
the rest of the team has access to these changes.
