ClearCase version properties
Use the DevOps Code ClearCase® Version properties page to view or edit properties of a file or directory version in a ClearCase view.
A version is a specific revision of a file or directory under ClearCase control. Each time you check in a file or directory, you create a new version. ClearCase uses a version-extended path name to distinguish each version. Usually, a version-extended path name appends @@/branch-name/version-number to the path name of the file system object. This path name is displayed in the title area of the Version Properties dialog box. For a checked-out version, the version-number is always CHECKEDOUT.
Changes are applied when focus is removed from the item being changed. For example: a Description field is modified by typing new text or changing existing text. As soon as focus is moved away from the Description field, the change is applied. Clicking anywhere outside the Description field is sufficient to move focus and apply the change. Clicking the OK button is another way to move focus and to apply any changes.
