Add a new view shortcut window

Use this window to specify a shortcut to a snapshot view. (Shortcuts to dynamic views that you own are automatically created when Rational® ClearCase® Explorer starts or refreshes.)

View Type
Select Snapshot. If your host supports dynamic views, this list contains the value Dynamic, which you must select to create a shortcut to a dynamic view. Otherwise, this list contains only the value Snapshot.
View Tag
If you select dynamic in View Type, this list contains all dynamic view tags in the current network region. Select the view from this list for which you want to make a shortcut.
Page
Select a page from the list of all pages on the Views page. You can place shortcuts to views only on a page that is in the Views page. It is better to place UCM views on a page that bears the name of the associated project; do not place base Rational ClearCase views on a page that is used for UCM projects.
Description
Enter the text that appears in a ToolTip window when you position the pointer over the shortcut.
Snapshot Location
If you select Snapshot in View Type, enter a path to a snapshot view, either on the current host or on a different Rational ClearCase host that is accessible through a standard Windows file system. You may enter a UNC path, a path with a drive letter, or a path relative to ccase-home-dir\bin. Or click the browse button to the right to navigate to and select the location.
Drive Letter
If you select Dynamic in View Type, this list displays the currently unassigned drives for your host. Do one of the following:
  • To assign the dynamic view to a drive, select one from the list. The drive assignment is preserved even after you restart your computer.
  • If you do not want to assign the view to a drive or if the view is already assigned to one, select {none}.
Note: If the view is already assigned to a drive and you select another one from the list, the view is assigned to both drives.
