View version selection rules

Use the Version Selection Rules tab of the VersionVault 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 VersionVault view. If you are familiar with VersionVault 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 VersionVault 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.

Icons on the toolbar

The following icons on the VersionVault View Configuration toolbar are available when you select the Version Selection Rules tab:


Icon	Function
	Edit Configuration. Click this icon to open the Edit Configuration dialog box.
	Display Selected View's Configuration. Click to open the Show View Configuration dialog box and select a view to display its configuration in the Version Selection Rules tab.
