Defining the Scope of Items to Browse

When you open a view session, a default Folder (root), Item Type, and Filter are selected in the Scope panel on the Browse page. The item records initially listed in the Item Table reflect these default settings.

Note: The default item type is specified in the Client Options dialog box.

To define the scope of items to browse:

Open a view session.
In the Scope panel, select a view folder from the Folder () list.
Tip: Make sure the All Descendants () toggle button is selected if you want to include the selected folder's child folders in the scope of items to browse.
Select an item type from the Item Type list.
Optional: Select a public filter from the Filter () list. The default public filter is selected by default. If you select a public filter, the item records listed in the Item Table are sorted by the property values defined in the filter. The filter also defines the default columns available in the Item Table and the group selections available in the Refine panel.
Note: Public filters must be defined on the associated StarTeam Server in order for them to be available in the Filter () list box. If there are no public filters, the default Web Client filter simply returns every item in the specified folder that matches the specified type.
