Specify selection criteria and merge options
On this page, you specify criteria for selecting the from-version (the version in the VOB) to consider. You can also specify other merge options.
Use this page to specify how the merge manager should select candidates (from-versions) to consider for merging to the versions in the target view. You can select based on branch type, label type, or version selector.
