How Do I Configure My Browser to Work With the New Help? As browsers have matured, they have often added tighter security requirements with new releases. Since the AccuRev help is based on Javascript, and is accessed from a local file system rather than through a web server, you may need to configure the security settings on your preferred browser to display the help. If the AccuRev help fails to display properly the first time you try to use it, please see Configuring a Web Browser to View Help Topics in Appendix B Support andTroubleshooting for more details, and check the Release Notes for any late-breaking changes. 4 AccuRev ® On-Line Help Guide
2. Using the AccuRev GUI This chapter describes the basics of using the AccuRev Java GUI. Mechanics of the AccuRev GUI The following sections discuss overall aspects of the AccuRev GUI display and user interface. Starting the GUI You can start the AccuRev GUI from the desktop (Windows only) or from a command shell: • On the Windows desktop, double-click the AccuRev icon. There is also an AccuRev group in the Start > Programs menu. • In a command shell, use the acgui command: > acgui (Windows) > acgui & (UNIX) The way the GUI window initially appears varies. It might be blank, or it might open one or more tabs, displaying your work from the preceding GUI session. The AccuRev GUI reopens: • The File Browser tabs, each displaying the contents of an individual workspace or stream. • The StreamBrowser tabs, each displaying the hierarchy of streams, snapshots, and workspaces for a particular depot. • The AccuWork tabs, each showing the set of AccuWork queries defined for a particular depot (and, if you've defined a default query, its results). The Multiple-Tab Display The AccuRev GUI window uses multiple tabs to enable you to switch quickly among several activities. For example, you might wish to switch among: • Viewing the contents of your main workspace, using the File Browser. • Viewing some or all the versions of a particular file, using the Version Browser. • Viewing a list of all depots in the AccuRev repository. • Viewing the streams in a particular depot, using the StreamBrowser.
