Check In dialog box
If you use ClearCase® for source control management, you can use the Check In dialog box to create a new version of an element.
An element is an object in a VOB, a database that stores your project's files. An element can be a Functional Test script, a Functional Test project, an object map or a Java™ file. All elements are stored with version history and comments
- Selected Elements
- Lists the scripts, files, object maps, class files, or projects that you
select from the Projects view.
- Check In
- Select to check in an element. Clear the checkbox if you do not want to check in an element. If unavailable, a gray box appears instead of a check box, and you cannot check in the element.
- File, Script, Element, or Project Name
- Displays the name of the element, project, script, or file name. If an element is in a folder, the folder appears as <foldername>.<filename>. For example, Myfolder.myfile.
- Project Name

- Details of <selected element>
- Lists the state, filename, and path for each supporting file of an element

the ClearCase preferences to display script details.
