Using the Search Panel
The Change Explorer shows data according to the filter, baseline build, and target build specified in the widget you clicked to open the explorer. You can easily change the search scope to view specific information.
...
- Change the filter: Choose a new filter from the drop-down menu (see Creating and Managing Filters for additional information)menu. See Configuring Filters for more information.
- Specify the baseline build: Choose a baseline build from the drop-down menu. A baseline build is a snapshot of the code at a previous state.
- Specify the target build: Choose a target build from the drop-down menu. The target build contains the updated files as compared to the baseline build.
- Specify the review ID: Choose Choose a review ID from the drop-down menu to show information associated with a specific review. Reviews are tied to the specific comparison of baseline and target builds. For example, if you add a review when viewing changes from baseline build A and target build B, a review ID is generated. If you compare build A with target build C, the ID will not be available as a search criterion.
- Specify the scope of files: Click the Include File Pattern Exclude File Pattern option and specify file paths to refine the scope of the search. Ant-style patterns are supported. See Using File Patterns in DTP for more information about configuring file patterns.
- Click Search when your search parameters are set to load the results in the search results panel.
