Opening Existing Projects

Before you can access an existing project view, you must have access to the appropriate server, be logged on, and open the project.

To open an existing project, do the following:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Choose Project > Properties. The Project Properties dialog box opens.
    • Select Project > Open. The Open Project wizard appears.
  2. Click the plus sign in front of the server name or double-click the name of the server configuration on which the project is located.

    • If you have already logged on to this server configuration, skip to the next step.
    • If you are not logged on, the Log On to [server configuration] [project name] dialog opens.
  3. Type your User Name and Password. You must have the necessary access rights to continue. Passwords are case-sensitive and may have length restrictions. See your StarTeam administrator for details.
  4. Once you are logged in, the Open Project wizard displays a list of projects for the selected server configuration. Do one of the following:

    • Select a project name, then click Finish to open your project.
    • Double-click the project name to select a specific view of that project.
    • Select the project name, then click Next to select a specific view of that project.
  5. If the Select View dialog opens from the Open Project wizard, select a name from the View list and click Finish or simply double-click the view name to open your project in that view.

Note: If the View icon is disabled, you do not have access to that view.
