Overriding SourceBridge User Settings

Depending on how users access SourceBridge, you can use the Settings tab of the Version Control Configuration dialog box to override SourceBridge user settings.

The following table describes the order in which SourceBridge settings are applied.

SourceBridge Access Point	Server Overrides Order of Precedence
Integrated development environments (IDEs) that comply with Microsoft Source Code Control Interface (MSSCCI) standards (except when Version Manager is used as the underlying source control provider)	SBM System Administrator overrides SourceBridge user settings
Version Manager Windows client and IDEs with Version Manager used as underlying source control provider	Version Manager Administrator overrides SBM System Administrator overrides SourceBridge user settings
Version Manager Web client	Version Manager Administrator overrides only

By default, all options are user configurable. To override user settings, select the Server Override option next to each setting.

The following options can be overridden:

Show Association Dialog on Checkout - When this option is selected, the SourceBridge – Check Out dialog box opens each time users check out source files. This enables users to associate SBM items with the files being checked out.
- Association Required – When this option is selected, users are required to associate at least one SBM item with the file or files being checked out. To enable this option, select the Server Override option for the Show Association Dialog on Checkout and Association Required options, and then select the check box.
Show Association Dialog on Checkin – When this option is selected, the SourceBridge – Check In dialog box each time users check in source files. This enables users to associate new items with the files or to modify associations made at check in. In addition, the SourceBridge – Add to Source Control dialog box opens each time users add files to source control.
- Association Required – When this option is selected, users are required to associate at least one SBM item with the file or files being checked in. To enable this option, select the Server Override option for the Show Association Dialog on Checkin and Association Required options, and then select the check box.
- Show Only if No Associations – When this option is selected, the SourceBridge - Check In dialog box opens if file or files being checked in are not already associated with an SBM item. To enable this option, select the Server Override option for the Show Association Dialog on Checkin and Show Only if No Associations options, and then select the check box.
Cleanup Associations on Undo Checkout – When this option is selected, check-out records are automatically removed from SBM items when an undo-checkout operation is performed. Clear this check box to log undo checkout records and to store check-out records in SBM when an undo checkout operation is performed.
Tag Source Control Comment With Associations – When this option is selected, item association is recorded in the comments area for each file's source control properties for some source control environments.
Include Change User Info – Select this check box to include users' names and SBM login IDs in the comments area for each file they associate with items as check-out and check-in operations are performed.
- Before Existing Comment – Select this option to add SBM association information to the beginning of existing comments.
- After Existing Comment - Select this option to add SBM association information after existing comments.
- Tag: Select this option to specify a format for association information added to comments. The tags can be made up of text and the following data identifier tags:
  - $id – Returns the Item ID for the SBM item.
  - $ownid - Returns the login ID of the user who owns the item at the time of the association.
  - $project – Returns the name of the project in which items reside at the time of the association.
  - $recid – Returns the item's database record ID.
  - $tableid – Returns the item's database table ID.
    
    The default tag is $id($tableid,%recid) $title.
Use Version Labels on Checkin – This setting applies only when Version Manager is used as the underlying source control system. Select this check box to add a version label to the file that contains the SBM Item ID when users check in files.
