Lightweight Activity View Restrictions

The Lightweight Activity View is most useful as an activity view for developers. It is generally preferred when the views are large and a branch-all view creation is costly.

There are number of restrictions associated with the lightweight activity view compared to a regular branch-all view. The following operations are not permitted in a lightweight activity view:

• Creation of labels and promotion states.
• Lock/unlocking of files/folders.
• Setting item level and container level access rights and clone access rights.
• Modifying Item behavior.
• Create links between items.
• While VCM promotes and rebase from/to a lightweight activity view are allowed, VCM replicate from a sibling view to a lightweight activity view is disabled.
• Opening a committed change package in a lightweight activity view.
• Cross view sharing of a lightweight item.
• Lightweight activity views can only be rolled back as of a configuration since labels/promotion states are disabled.
• Item level Access rights cannot be modified inside a lightweight activity view.
