Preface This book documents the AccuRev Graphical User Interface (GUI). It provides the content for the AccuRev context-sensitive help. Audience This document is intended for end users and administrators who use the AccuRev GUI in the performance of their jobs. It is not mean to be a tutorial—we assume that you have had some form of AccuRev training. See the AccuRev Installation and Release Notes for installation procedures and any late-breaking information about the current release. Using This Book The contents of this book are intended to be used as on-line help within the GUI. This book format is provided only as a convenience for users who wish to browse through the help outside of the AccuRev client. Because the content was developed as on-line help, the book is not designed to be read in a linear fashion. You will find that discussions tend to jump from topic to topic with little transition material easing the way between them. The chapters in this book are divided by functional areas: Chapter Overview of the On-Line Help Using the AccuRev GUI The File Browser The StreamBrowser The History Browser Diff, Merge, and Change Palette Security AccuWork Miscellaneous Error Displays Description Describes the AccuRev on-line help mechanism and its organization and features. Provides a high-level view of the AccuRev GUI. Describes in detail how to use AccuRev’s features to work with your files. Describes in detail AccuRev’s unique stream architecture for organizing your work. Describes how to use AccuRev to view the past operations that have been performed on your files. Explains how to view the differences between versions of your files, how to merge those differences, and how to use the AccuRev’s unique Change Palette to cross-promote elements to specific streams. Describes features such as file locking, stream locking, access control lists (ACLs), and other ways of controlling accessing to your data. Describes AccuRev’s tightly integrated issue tracking feature. Explains the messages that provide help buttons for more detailed information. AccuRev® On-Line Help Guide iii
