A dynamic view uses the multi-version file system
(MVFS) to provide transparent access to versions of elements. Each time you
access an element, the view_server process evaluates the config spec of the
view and selects a version of the element.
Each view implements a virtual
work area that presents users with an extended file system. On a Windows computer,
this file system appears to be a standard Windows file system hierarchy. On
the UNIX system, this file system appears to be a standard file system hierarchy.
The work area contains many different items, for example, selected versions
of elements, files (and directories) that are being modified, derived objects,
and view private objects.

views are not supported on Rational® ClearCase® LT systems.
