About the Pedigree Window

The Pedigree window shows the history of an object and the objects created from it.

For items, the Pedigree window shows how item revisions are related in time and origin. For example, you can see which revision was used to create a new branch.

NOTE In some circumstances, Dimensions CM may create pseudo merge entries in the pedigree. This will occur, for example when a revision is created in a branch from a revision on another branch, and then the next revision is created from a revision on a different branch.

For baselines and projects/streams, the Pedigree window shows how projects/streams, baselines, and releases are related in time and origin. For example, you can see which projects were included in a baseline and which baseline was used to create a release. The Pedigree window also shows which releases were forwarded to a customer.

The Pedigree window displays the following icons:
