The first time you start the GUI, the AccuRev Quick Setup wizard should appear. If it doesn’t, run the command
Help > Quick Setup. This wizard steps you through the process of:
AccuRev maintains a username registry that is separate from the operating system’s username registry. AccuRev usernames are called
principal-names. Every AccuRev transaction log entry includes the principal-name of the person who initiated the transaction.

The currently active principal-name is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the GUI window. You can change it at any time with the
Tools > Change Active User command.
Next, the wizard prompts you to specify the name for a new storage depot. Enter a name for the depot (e.g.
brass for a project code-named “Brass”).
Now, you can indicate, by selecting
Yes, that you have a directory tree whose files are to be placed in the new depot. The alternative (if you select
No) is to create an empty depot.
The next steps involve the creation of a new
workspace, which enables you to work with the depot’s files.

Finally, the wizard displays a message box, summarizing the work it has accomplished.
Note: To remove a depot from the repository, use the administrative command
maintain rmdepot. This operation is irreversible! For details, see
Removing a Depot from the AccuRev Repository on page 103 of the
AccuRev Administrator’s Guide.
After the Quick Setup Wizard ends, AccuRev displays the contents of the newly created workspace. This “Explorer-style” display includes folders (navigation) and details panes. It also includes a searches pane, with which you can locate files throughout the workspace, based on their AccuRev status.
