A configuration is a unique group of versions of shared
design resources. There are two types of configurations: snapshots
and workspaces. You can search for and switch to a specific configuration,
open and edit the current configuration of a project, and compare
configurations.
Before you begin
You should be familiar with project
areas, configuration spaces, snapshots, workspaces,
and change sets, which are described in Management of shared design resources.
You
must be logged in to a Design
Management project
area, and you must have the project dashboard open.
Procedure
On the project dashboard, from the toolbar in the upper
right, click the Current Configuration Context menu
and complete one of the following steps: - To view the list of configurations for the spaces that you
can access, select Explore Configurations.
The Configurations page
is displayed. Click the twistie beside a configuration to show the
workspaces and snapshots in that space. To view or edit the details
of a snapshot or configuration, click its name. To see other actions
you can take on a workspace or snapshot in that configuration, hover
the cursor over the Actions column in the same row as the configuration.
- To view or edit the properties of the current workspace or
snapshot, click Open Current Configuration.
On the Configurations page, click the links to display or edit the
information about this configuration. To save your changes, click Save.
- To search for and switch to a specific configuration in the
spaces that you can access, click Search for more,
and in the Select a Configuration window, type the name of the snapshot,
workspace, or change set; then select an item in the search results
and click OK.
The project dashboard that
is associated with the workspace opens, and the Current Configuration
Context menu shows the name of the selected configuration. You can
now work within the configuration that you selected, and all changes
are saved within this context.
What to do next
To return to the project dashboard, in the Configuration
Explorer view, click the application name in the breadcrumb trail,
which is in the upper-left corner of the page.
