The Setup Columns Command
The Setup Columns command specifies a set of fields from an AccuWork issue database (AccuWork) A set of issue records, each of which implements a bug report, feature description, etc. Each depot can have its own issue database. Each issue database has its own schema., and specifies the order in which the fields will appear as columns in a particular table.
Notes (click to view):
You don't specify column widths with this command. After finishing this command, you can drag column separators in the tab from which you invoked Select Columns. You can also drag-and-drop the column headers to rearrange the columns.
A Setup Columns command button appears in these AccuWork contexts:
Schema editor: Change Packages tab (Change Package Results pane)
Specifies the format of the tables produced by Show Issues and Show Diff by Issues commands.
Schema editor: Change Packages tab (Change Package Triggers pane)
Specifies the format of the table displayed by the change-package-level integration between AccuRev and AccuWork.
Schema editor: Relationship Types tab
Specifies the format of the table that shows the set of issue records related to a given issue record.
Queries tab: Query Results pane toolbar
Specifies the format of the table that shows the results of a user-defined AccuWork query.
The fields listed under Selected when you click Ok will be displayed in the appropriate table of issue records.
To move field names from the Available list to the Selected list (or vice-versa), select one or more names, then click the button (or the
button).
To move all field names between the lists, click the or
button.
To rearrange the Selected list, select one or more names, then click the or
button.
Notes (click to view):
The names that you work with in the Columns window are the actual field names (Name column of the Schema subtab of the AccuWork Schema Editor) In the Query Results pane, the column headers are the corresponding field labels (Label column of the Schema subtab).
Further adjustments, including column-width specifications
You don't specify column widths in the Columns window, just their order. You can adjust column widths and change the order of columns using the techniques that work with all GUI tables.
You can include a multiple-line text field in the set of columns to be displayed in the Query Results pane, but it's likely that you won't be able to see the complete contents of such fields, no matter how wide you make its column. But when you display an HTML file created by the Export Table command in a Web browser, you'll see the complete contents of every field.
When you click Ok to close the Setup Columns dialog, the changes you've made are reflected immediately in the Query Results pane. But the changes to the query's columns setup are not saved in the repository until you invoke the Save All command in the Query List pane.
