Show Active Issues

The Show Active Issues command displays in the Issues tab the active issues for the current stream. An issue in a stream is considered to be active if the change package associated with the issue has had one or more of its versions promoted to the stream, but has not yet been promoted from the stream to its parent.

Tip: You can display active issues for an individual stream by choosing Show Active Issues from the context menu for that stream. You can also change the display mode for all streams in the StreamBrowser by clicking the Active Issue Mode button

on the StreamBrowser.

Note: The Issues tab will not display any issues if you invoke Show Active Issues on a snapshot, since nothing can be promoted to a snapshot.

Click an issue in the Issues pane to display the items currently in its change package in the Change Package Contents pane. This pane lists the file name, version, and basis version for each element in the change package.

Entries are included for elements in the change package only if they were promoted to the stream, but have not yet been promoted from the stream to its parent. This helps you to concentrate on current programming efforts, rather than those that were completed long ago.

Note: For the purposes of the display on this tab, a Revert to Backed operation has the same effect as a Promote operation. For a workspace, substitute the phrase "created in" for "promoted to". Incomplete issues are shown by default and can be excluded by clearing the Include Incomplete Issues checkbox. An issue is incomplete when some, but not all, of its change package entries are in the stream.

When the checkbox is selected, the Complete column appears and shows the incomplete issues with a grey background in the Issues pane. When an incomplete issue is selected, the missing versions will be shown with a grey background on the Change Package Contents pane. In addition, the Status column on that pane will read (Missing) for each missing version.
