2. Using the AccuRev GUI : Filter Streams(Tools > Filter > Streams Command)

Filter Streams
(Tools > Filter > Streams Command)
Invoking the Filter Streams Command
You can invoke this command in any of these ways:
· Choose Tools > Filter > Streams from the GUI main menu.
Click the Filter Streams button on the GUI main toolbar.
About the Stream Filter
If your organization has depots containing thousands of streams, the stream filter is a powerful tool to improve system performance and focus attention on just the streams you're interested in.
Adding a stream to the filter will limit the stream hierarchy shown in the StreamBrowser to the stream path of that stream and all its children. Also, any list of streams available in the GUI will contain only the subset of streams shown in the StreamBrowser.
Using the Configure Stream Filter Dialog
The Filter Streams command allows you to restrict the total number of streams displayed in the AccuRev GUI. When you invoke the command, the Configure Stream Filter dialog shows a list of all the streams that you have chosen. You can use this dialog to keep a list of "interesting" streams, and to control which streams are part of the stream filter. A stream is part of the stream filter if its checkbox is selected in the list shown in this dialog.
You can use the dialog to:
Toggle the checkbox(es) next to one or more streams to indicate that they should be added to or removed from the stream filter. If you have many streams of interest, you may find it useful to use the Select All and Deselect All buttons to quickly make your selections.
After making your selections, click Ok to filter streams in the AccuRev GUI.
Note: Stream filters are applied first to the data displayed in the Stream Browser. Any use of the display controls in the StreamBrowser is applied to the filtered set of streams. Occasionally, the interaction between these two sets of controls may produce a "surprising" result. For example, if the stream filter contains only one user's workspaces, and the Workspaces drop-down list is set to show another user's workspaces, the (correct) result is a StreamBrowser showing only the root stream. If your stream filter does not produce the expected display in the Stream Browser, remember to check the display controls to verify that these local settings are not affecting the outcome.
Adding Streams
You can add streams to the stream filter by clicking the Add to List button.
The resulting dialog allows you to search in two ways for streams that you would like to add:
When the Results list contains the desired streams, select one or more and click Ok to add them to the stream filter.
Note: If you add the root stream to the stream filter, all streams in the depot will be shown, since all streams are children of the root stream.
Searching by Stream Name
Use the Name radio button to search by stream name. Stream name searches can be exact matches (using matching), or partial matches (using starting with, ending with, or containing). Once you have specified the item to search for, click the Search button or press Enter to see the resulting list of streams in the Results list.
Searching by Workspace
Use the Workspaces for radio button to search by workspace. Choose a user or group name from the drop-down list to see the list of those workspaces in the Results list.
Note that the users and groups available from the drop-down list are limited by any user/group filters you have set.
Removing Streams
You can remove streams from the list in the Configure Stream Filter dialog by selecting one or more streams and clicking the Remove from List button. Click the Ok button to save your changes.  
This action only removes the streams from the list in the dialog; it does not apply the Remove command to the stream itself. If the stream you remove is part of the stream filter, the StreamBrowser display (and lists of streams in the GUI) will reflect that change.
Quick Stream Filtering Options
In the StreamBrowser, there are two methods of quickly filtering the stream display:
Add a stream directly to the stream filter. To do this, right-click on the stream, and choose the Add to Stream Filter option from the context menu that appears. This action will immediately apply the filter, causing the StreamBrowser display to change, so if you have multiple streams to add to the filter, you may want to use the Filter Streams command instead.
Note: As an alternative, you can add the root stream to the filter first, so that all streams will display. Then add streams to the filter one-by-one, and remove the root stream from the filter when you are finished.
For a single user or group, show only the stream paths to that user's or group's workspaces. To do this, select a user or group from the Workspaces drop-down list at the bottom of the StreamBrowser, then select the Only stream paths to workspaces checkbox. This option does not add the workspaces to the stream filter, nor does it restrict the display of streams anywhere but the StreamBrowser; it is simply a shortcut display mechanism there.
