A snapshot view is a read-only image of a working view at a specific point in time. Snapshot views let administrators capture a software inventory at significant points in its development, such as a release. You can base snapshot views on any working view of a project, and you can capture the view at the current or previous time—the snapshot view acts as a reference to the versions in the working view that were most recent at the time specified by the snapshot view. Updating items in the working view does not affect the snapshot view, because the snapshot cannot be altered after it is created.
The All Snapshot Views option in the State Properties dialog lets you access snapshot views in the project from which they were created. When you select this option, the state has as its view all the snapshot views that exist in that project. The versions that the snapshot view captures are visible in the state and can be checked out, but because snapshot views are read-only, items cannot be checked in or modified from that state.
You can use snapshot views in the following ways:
