Displaying Location References

Because of manual sharing and because views are children of other views, a folder or item can be associated with more than one project, view, or parent folder (within the same server configuration). Each instance of the folder or item has a reference to its tip revision.

To view folder references, you open a separate dialog; to view item references, you use the project view window and the Reference tab on the lower pane.

You can view references for any of the following:

  • Folders and past revisions of a folder.
  • Items and past revisions of an item.

Viewing Folder References

To view folder references, do the following:

  1. Select a folder from the folder tree or in the upper pane on the Folder tab.

  2. Right-click the selected folder and choose Advanced > References.

    The Folder References dialog box opens and displays a tree that indicates which project views reference this folder, and their relationship to each other.
