Set View

The ISPW Set view is used to view details about a set, which is where all ISPW/Eclipse actions—such as checkout, generate, and promote—are performed. The left pane of the view is the properties table for the set and displays the set's attributes and a link to the set log. Some set properties can be modified using the Modify Set dialog box. The right pane is the task table and shows the tasks within the set.

The Set list is a drop-down list of the 15 most recently used set containers.

Columns, actions, and fields

See to column definitions, action definitions, and field definitions for information about the columns, actions, and fields in this view.

Important

When the set is the active container, certain actions, like promote, will be disabled for the set.

To perform a quick search of the task table

In the Find bar, enter the text on which to search. The existing view contents are dynamically refreshed to show only the components that have a cell that contains the entered text.

To select columns to be shown in the ISPW Set view

In the ISPW Set view, right-click the table header row and select the column to be added to or removed from the view. A check mark indicates a column that already appears in the view. Columns are added to the right side of the table.

Important

  • At least one column must remain in the view.
  • Click Restore Defaults to reset the size and order of the columns to the default settings. The default columns are Name, Type, Level, Status, Version, Application, Assignment, and Release.

To find a set

  1. In the ISPW Set view, click magglass.gif. The Find Set dialog box appears showing, under Matching Sets, the sets that match the current user ID.

  2. If needed, modify the sets that are displayed by entering search criteria in the fields in the Criteria box, then click Find. The Matching Sets box populates with sets that match the new filter criteria. See to field definitions for information about the fields in the Criteria box.

    Important

    • Thee User ID filter requires an exact match to show any results.
    • The remaining filters can use a string ending in a wildcard character (asterisk ‘*’) except the Stream and Application, which contain a selection list.
    • Some field names are configurable. (For example, ISSUE # may be WORKREF in your installation).
  3. Select the set to be set as the active set and click OK. The set is added to the Set list in the ISPW Set view.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
