Customizing StarTeam Web Client

This topic describes how to customize the StarTeam Web Client.

Specifying Options

The Client Options dialog box allows you to specify the following options:

  • Whether or not you want to be prompted to confirm deletion of an item or items.
  • The default item type shown in the Browse page Scope panel and Item Table when you open a view session.
  • Whether or not to automatically lock an item while you have its item editor open.
  • Whether or not to automatically lock a file during download.
  • Whether or not to automatically unlock a manually locked item after editing.

To specify these options, perform the following steps:

  1. Click the Options link on the Title bar. The Client Options dialog box opens.
  2. Uncheck the Confirm Deletes check box if you do not want to be prompted to confirm deletion of an item or items.
  3. In the Default Item Type list, choose the default item type shown in the Browse page Scope Pane and Item Table when you open a view session.
  4. In the Type list, choose an item type. Check or leave unchecked the Exclusively lock during edit and the Clear manually added lock after edit check boxes.
  5. Repeat step four for each item type in the Type list. For the File item type, also check or leave unchecked the Exclusively lock file on download check box.
  6. Click OK.

Resizing Item Table Columns

  1. Open a view session. The Browse page and your view session open.
  2. Browse to a specific item or group of items. The items are listed in the Item Table.
  3. To manipulate the width of any column in the Item Table, move the cursor over the column margin. When the cursor looks like a double arrow, click and drag the margin until the column is the desired width. Column width settings persist as long as the Item Table is active.

Adding and Removing Item Table Columns

  1. Open a view session. The Browse page and your view session open.
  2. Browse to a specific item or group of items. The items are listed in the Item Table.
  3. Place the cursor over any column in the Item Table, click the Down Arrow that appears to the right, and choose Columns. A context sub-menu will open that contains a check-box list of all the columns available in the selected filter. By default, all of the check boxes are checked in the sub-menu, so all of the columns are displayed in the Item Table.
  4. Uncheck columns you want to remove from the Item Table, or check columns you want to add to the Item Table. The column settings persist as long as the Item Table is active.

Perform the following steps to view embedded item details:

  2. Browse to a specific item or group of items. The items are listed in the Item Table.
  3. Click the plus sign (+) to the left of the record whose embedded item details you want to view. The record expands to reveal the embedded item details.
