The Edit Pending Changelist page
(and its companion, the Edit Default Changelist page)
allows you to edit
an existing changelist, split files off into a new changelist,
or submit files in a changelist to the depot.
You can get to this page through one of two ways:
- By selecting a changelist from the Go To -> Pending Changelists page, or
- By selecting a changelist from the Run -> Submit page, or
- By clicking on the Submit Default Changelist icon.
The following fields are displayed:
Change:
This will be the number of the changelist you've selected,
or new if you're dealing with the default changelist.
This is a read-only field.
Client:
This will be the client specification in which you're currently working.
This is a read-only field.
User:
This will be your user name.
This is a read-only field.
Status:
This is the status of the changelist. If the changelist is an
existing (numbered) changelist, it will be pending.
If you are working with the default changelist, this field will
read new.
This is a read-only field.
Description:
When you first edit the changelist, this field will read
<enter description here>. You must
enter a change description before you can submit the changelist.
Jobs:
Any jobs in your JobView setting will appear in the Jobs:
section of this page. If you submit a changelist with any
jobs in this field, the jobs will be marked as closed.
Files:
A series of checkboxes will appear here, one for each file
currently in the changelist. By default, all open files are
selected. To include files in the changelist, leave the
files checked. To exclude files from the changelist,
uncheck them with the mouse.
Once you have entered a description and specified the files
to include or exclude from your changelist, select one of the
two following actions:
- Create Pending Change:
Do not perform the submit; create a new changelist with
status pending, containing the description you've
entered and the files you've left checked. (Unchecked files
will remain in the same changelist; checked files will be
transferred to the new change.)
- Submit Files to the Depot:
Submit the files in the changelist to the depot.
