About P4V icons

P4V uses a variety of icons and badges (decorations) to depict Helix Server objects and their status. The following table describes commonly encountered icons.

P4V displays file icons in the Tree pane and throughout the user interface, with file status indicated as shown in the following table. Note that file icons might be displayed with multiple "badges" (for example, check marks, lock indicators), each indicating an aspect of the file’s status. This table does not list all possible combinations. Note that red badges indicate actions taken by you, and blue badges indicate actions taken by another user.

To display a tooltip containing more details about a file’s status, hover the mouse pointer over the file. For example, this tooltip indicates another user has an "exclusive checkout" on the variable.h file:

folderdepot

(Blue folder) A folder in the Helix Server depot

 
folderworkspace

(Yellow folder) A folder in your client workspace

  D1 is a folder of the //flow/D1 stream in the stream depot named flow.
  A folder that maps to a Graph repo

Depots

Classic depotClosed A repository of Helix Core files that is not streams-based. Uses the Perforce file revision model, not the graph model. The default depot name is depot. See also default depot, stream depot, and graph depot.

 
remotedepot

Remote depot: if configured by your Helix Server administrator, a remote depot maps a portion of another Helix Server repository as if it were a depot. Typically used to enable you to import and export third-party files without providing outsiders with access to your Helix Server.

  stream depot icon Stream depot: A depot where streamClosed A branch with built-in rules that determine which changes to propagate to files in a stream depot, and in what order. A stream specification defines a stream. A user creates a stream spec by using the 'p4 stream' command or in P4V with File > New Stream. In P4V, stream specs are visible in the Streams Graph and the Streams tab. files are stored. (Stream specs are represented in the Stream Graph (see Stream hierarchy in the Stream Graph) and the Streams tab (see Viewing and adding tabs).
 

Spec depot: when enabled by your Helix Server administrator, a spec depot stores the history of changes to Helix Server specifications, such as changelistsClosed The changes to files or stream specifications along with metadata, such as the list of changed files, their version numbers, who submitted the changelist to the depot, and the submitter's description of the changes. A changelist is the unit of versioned work. See also atomic change transaction and changelist number..

  Graph depot: A depot for storing files in a repo , which uses the graph model associated with git instead of the "classic" Perforce file revision model.
