Set Decoration Preferences

CA Harvest SCM uses image and text decorations to indicate the status of every file and folder. For example, if a file is managed by CA Harvest SCM, a cylinder image appears next to that file's icon. If the file is checked out, a checkmark appears along with a right-angle bracket (>) next to the file name.

The CA Harvest SCM page of the Preferences dialog lets you modify your decoration settings. You can select text or image decorations or a combination of both.

To set decoration preferences

  1. Click Window, Preferences.

    The Preferences dialog appears.

  2. Click Team, CA Harvest SCM, Appearance in the navigation tree on the left side of the dialog.

    The CA Harvest SCM preferences page appears. These settings are applicable only to the Navigator view.

  3. Set the decoration preferences.
    Text decorations

    Specifies the character or string that you want to represent the status of the resource. The character or string you specify appears next to the resource according to the resource's state. If you prefer no text decorations, leave these fields blank.

    Image decorations

    Specifies the character or string that you want to represent the status of the resource. Images appear next to the resource according to the resource's state. If you prefer no image decorations, clear the check boxes.

    Note: By clearing the boxes in the Image decorations group you can disable the image decorations but keep the text decorations. This reduces the number of images in your workspace and helps alleviate the problem of reaching an image limit in your application.

    Restore Defaults

    The default settings on the CA Harvest SCM page of the Preferences dialog are a combination of both image and text decorations. Clicking Restore Defaults restores the following settings:

    Text decorations
    • New resources-Asterisk (*)
    • Managed resources-Blank
    • Checked out resources-Right angle bracket (>)
    • Edited resources-Plus sign (+)
    Image decorations
    • New resources-Clear
    • Managed resources-Checked
    • Checked out resources-Checked

    Click OK.

    Your decoration preferences are set.
