View version selection rules

Use the Version Selection Rules tab of the ClearCase® View Configuration tool to see a view's version selection rules.

A view's version-selection rules determine which versions of elements in a load rule scope are selected for loading into a ClearCase® view. If you are familiar with ClearCase® config spec syntax, you can modify these rules or create new ones using the Edit Configuration dialog box. You can also copy version-selection rules from another view using the Edit Configuration dialog box.

Note: In a UCM ClearCase® view, this tab shows only the custom element rules for the view, and is named Custom Element Rules. You cannot edit any other parts of a UCM view's version selection rules.
