Choosing Files for Review

You can submit elements to code review both explicitly (as when selecting one or more elements from the File Browser, for example) or implicitly (as when selecting all the elements in a change package associated with an issue, for example).

Notice the two Code Review buttons highlighted in this particular view, one on the Issue Edit form toolbar, another on the Changes tab toolbar. AccuRev responds differently depending on which button you click:

Issue Edit form toolbar: Clicking this button submits to review all the elements associated with the current issue, regardless of whether or not you have selected any elements on the active tab.
Changes tab toolbar: Clicking this button submits to review only those elements that you explicitly select (server.h, stl_hash.h, and stream.h in the illustration, for example).
Note: Use Ctrl+click and Shift+click to select multiple elements.

The following summarizes whether a view allows you to select elements implicitly, explicitly, or both.

Timeline Diff: Explicit
History Browser: Explicit, Implicit
Issue Edit Form: Explicit, Implicit
Issue Diff View: Explicit, Implicit
File Diff View: Explicit
File Browser: Explicit

Note: Multiple elements, regardless of whether you select them explicitly or implicitly, are always placed in the same review.
