The Submit command allows you to submit the files you've edited
back to the depot. When being submitted to the depot, files are grouped
into changelists, which are used to associate logical changes to the
files you're editing with the specific changes in the files themselves.
Note that the page you get when you select a changelist for submission
is the same as the Edit Pending Changelist page; in fact,
you can also use this page to edit changelists and create new
changelists without submitting your files to the depot.
Selecting a Changelist:
If you've got more than one changelist open, Submit will
first display a list of open changelists. Select the changelist
into which you wish to include the files.
Change:
This will be the number of the changelist you've selected,
or new if you're submitting into 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 submitting files in the default changelist (i.e.,
creating a new 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 submitting the changelist.
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.
