StreamBrowser Toolbar and Context Menu

The following tools and context menu items are available in the graphical StreamBrowser display:

GUID-46AA602E-5DDE-490F-BAA0-071C4D4C783F-low.png Open

Opens the selected item. For more information, see Using the Open Command.

GUID-52F84CD5-4E34-4E20-B297-B19B3B02FCA3-low.png Look up Stream
Opens a Look up Stream tab that can be used to search for streams below the current stream in the stream hierarchy. See Search From options for more information.
GUID-34A40991-4FD0-44EC-B7B3-9BD4687FA7D9-low.png New Stream
Creates a new stream as a child of the selected stream. An Adding a Stream to a Depot dialog box appears to specify settings for the new stream. This command is not available from a workspace.
GUID-1D6AB2DD-4B52-41DB-8AD9-CCFD4DDD84BE-low.png Remove
Hides the selected stream from searches. This command is available from the toolbar and also via right-click on a stream. See Removing a Stream for more information on hiding streams and workspaces.
Reactivate
Allows the selected stream to be shown in searches. Before using this command, make hidden streams visible with the Show including hidden checkbox. (Context menu only.) See Reactivating a Stream for more information on displaying hidden streams and workspaces.
GUID-18DFC91E-677F-4295-BD58-3B0AAE4C4B44-low.png Show Active Files
Shows development activity for the selected stream in a new File Browser tab. This command is the equivalent of displaying the default group in the File Browser.
GUID-55505146-431F-4105-BCE8-EA5FE1C13575-low.png Show Active Transactions
Shows development activity by transaction for the selected stream in a History Browser tab. A transaction is active in the stream if one or more active elements are part of the transaction.
GUID-83C54F4D-BD84-4721-965B-AB3D0C0671B9-low.png Show Active Issues
Shows development activity for the selected stream in an Issues tab. An issue is active in the stream if one or more active elements have been associated with it (during promote, for example). An element is said to be active in a workspace or stream if a new version of the element has been created there, and that version has not been either (1) promoted to the parent stream or (2) purged from the workspace or stream. The set of elements associated with an issue is referred to as a change package. This command is not available from a workspace.
Note: AccuRev determines that an element is active (changed) if its basis version (the version that appears in the backing stream) and head version (the most recent version in the stream) differ. That is, a new version of the element has been created and is still part of that stream's default group.
GUID-FA010F3B-2D33-4C82-BFEF-BD9692AAFB7E-low.png History
Shows the history of all elements in the History Browser tab.
GUID-DF239019-91AD-4763-B933-3D7893B3E29E-low.png Timeline Diff
Allows you to view all changes that occurred in a stream or workspace over the period of time you specify. See Finding Changes in Streams and Workspaces.
GUID-625083DC-2881-4B39-B9B6-91F3A3750A78-low.png Issue Diff
Shows in a Diff Against window the change packages that differ between two selected streams. Click the first stream, then click the Issue Diff icon (or the Issue Diff context menu item), then click the stream you want to compare. (To cancel the Diff, just right-click the mouse.)
GUID-625083DC-2881-4B39-B9B6-91F3A3750A78-low.png File Diff
Shows in a File Diff tab the files that differ between two selected streams. Click the first stream, then click the File Diff icon (or the File Diff context menu item), then click the stream you want to compare. (To cancel the Diff, just right-click the mouse.)
Save as Default
Captures the current display state of the StreamBrowser so that you can easily restore the same view the next time you log in.
