Specifying Default Configurations

    Note
    We strongly recommend that your Working Environments Administrator specify the Default Configurations for your team's working environments.

Default Configurations may be specified for SSWEs and PWEs, either during their creation or afterwards. Note that an SOWE inherits the Default Configurations of the SSWE that it accesses.
To specify Default Configurations for a working environment:

  1. Make sure you have the appropriate write permissions for modifying working environments.
  2. Start SNiFF+ and open the Working Environments tool.
In the Working Environments tool
  1. In the Working Environments tool, select the working environment for which you want to specify Default Configurations.
  2. Choose Edit > Modify....
    The Working Environment - Modify dialog appears.
  3. In the Version Control Configuration(s) field, specify the Default Configurations for the working environment:
    • To specify HEAD as the default, either leave the field blank or enter HEAD .
    • To specify a non- HEAD configuration as the default, enter the configuration name.
    • To specify the HEAD version of a branch as the default, enter HEAD_<branch_name> .
    • Use a colon ( : ) to separate multiple Default Configurations. For example, to specify both HEAD and HEAD_branch01 as Default Configurations, you would enter:
      HEAD_branch01:HEAD
  4. When you are done, press Ok to return to the main window of the Working Environments tool.
  5. Save the modifications to your working environments.
