Viewing configurations in a tree view
Before you begin
You must first create a configuration in an ELM application to add it to a global configuration. For example, to support a release, you might create a requirements configuration in the Requirements Management (RM) application, a test configuration in the Quality Management (QM) application, or a model configuration in the Architecture Management (AM) application. In the Global Configuration Management (GCM) application, you can then add the configurations to the global configuration.
About this task
- See a collection of configurations from ELM applications as a single, logical unit.
- Create a product variant.
- Move, reorder, remove, or reuse configurations.
- Add a change set to test insulated changes without delivering the changes to a shared stream.
Procedure
- From the Home menu, choose a GCM project area.
Navigate to configurations in one of these ways:
- Search for a configuration by using Quick Search
near the upper right of the page, or the Search on the
Welcome page to find a stream, baseline, snapshot, personal stream, baseline
staging stream, or global configuration.Tip: Show or hide the Welcome page by selecting or clearing the Show the Welcome page when you log in check box near the bottom of the page. View the Welcome page at any time from the Help menu.
- Navigate to configurations by clicking Browse and create components or Browse configurations.
- On the toolbar, click Global Configurations and choose a configuration to view, or click Components and navigate to a configuration by first viewing the component.
After you select the global configuration, it opens in the hierarchical tree view.
By default, the tree view shows configurations in the position they were manually added or moved to. In this view, you can move configurations to resolve component skew or to group them.
To find configurations by listing them alphabetically, on the toolbar in the tree view, click Sort View (
) and click Name. You can't move a configuration in this view; to do
that, switch to Contribution Order. Configurations with the same name are shown in their
contribution order: the position they were manually added or moved to.If you are troubleshooting because the Current Configuration menu in your ELM application does not show the local configuration that you expected, read Selecting a configuration to work in. If you have already read that document and you need information about reordering configurations because of the results of a component skew report, see Unexpected local configuration in Current Configuration menu.
