P4Web "submittedchangelists" Help Page

[Return to "How to Use P4Web"]

The Submitted Changelists command allows you to browse the histories of files in the depot. It features a list of submitted changelists, the dates on which they were submitted, the users (and associated client workspaces) who submitted them, and the first few characters of the change description.

Submitted Changelists

By default (when invoked from Show -> Submitted Changelists in the Path Browser), the changelists displayed will be only those changelists affecting files at or below your current directory level.

To browse all changelists, first click on the top level of the desired depot (usually //depot/) and then and then click on Show -> Submitted Changelists to see a list of changelists affecting all files in the depot.

To change depots, click on the two slashes (//) that prefix the name of the current depot.

In the File Browser, Show -> Submitted Changelists displays all changelists for the file being browsed.

Submitted Changelists:

In the list of submitted changelists, three links are provided for each changelist. Clicking on:
  • A changelist number
    ...will take you to the Changelist Description page, which will show you the details for the changelist, and allow you to bring up the File Browser for any file affected by that changelist.
  • A user name
    ...will bring up the User Specs page for the desired user.
  • A client workspace
    ...will bring up the Client Specs page for the selected client workspace.

Next:

You can page down to earlier changelists by entering a number in the form and clicking on the Next button. (Use the Back button on your browser to return to more recent changelists.

Showing Integrated Changes:

If you want to see changelists for files integrated into the selected file(s), turn on the "Show integrated changes" button.

By way of example, suppose you updated a file by integrating changes from a file in a directory not beneath your current directory (e.g., a bug fix in a release line into your main codeline).

You could then use the Show Integrated Changes button to show the changelists affecting the file from which you integrated the changes; that is, the changelist in which you fixed the bug, as well as the changelist in which you integrated the bugfix back into the mainline.

(Command-line users will recognize this feature as equivalent to using the -i flag with p4 changes.)

Caveat:

At present, if you want to Show Integrated Changes on the first screenful of changelists, you'll have to highlight the button at the bottom of the screen and enter the changelist number of the first changelist displayed in the changelists up to field.
