<h3 class="section">12.2 The VCS Activities</h3>
<a name="index-VCS-activities"></a>
<a name="index-version-control-2"></a>

<p>The VCS Activities give the ability to group files to be committed
together. The set of files can be committed atomically if supported by
the version control system used.
</p>

<a name="index-screen-shot-44"></a>
<img src="vcs-activities.jpg" alt="vcs-activities">

<p>The way to bring up the VCS Activities view is through the
<code>VCS-&gt;Activities</code> menu.
</p>
<p>The VCS Activities view contains the following columns:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><b>Activity / File</b></dt>
<dd><p>The name of the activity or files belonging to an activity. This
column can be sorted by clicking on the header.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Status</b></dt>
<dd><p>Shows the status of the file. This column can be sorted by clicking on
the header. See <a href="The-VCS-Explorer.html#The-VCS-Explorer">The VCS Explorer</a> for a full description.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Log</b></dt>
<dd><p>This column indicates whether a revision log exists for this file.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Working rev.</b></dt>
<dd><p>Indicates the version of the local file.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Head rev.</b></dt>
<dd><p>Indicates the most recent version of the file in the repository.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>The VCS Explorer supports multiple selections. To select a single
line, simply left-click on it. To select a range of lines, select the
first line in the range, then hold down the <tt class="key">Shift</tt> key and select the
last line in the range. To add or remove single columns from the
selection, hold down the <tt class="key">Control</tt> key and left-click on the
columns that you want to select/unselect.
</p>
<p>There are different contextual menu entries depending on the
position on the screen.
On an empty area we have a simple contextual menu:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><b>Create new activity</b></dt>
<dd><p>Create a new activity. The name can be edited by double clicking on it.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>On an activity line the contextual menu is:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><b>Group commit</b></dt>
<dd><p>This is a selectable menu entry. It is activated only if the
VCS supports atomic commit and absolute filenames. See <a href="The-VCS-node.html#The-VCS-node">The VCS node</a>
for full details.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Create new activity</b></dt>
<dd><p>Create a new activity. The name can be edited by double clicking on it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Re-open activity / Close activity</b></dt>
<dd><p>If the activity is closed it is possible to re-open it and if it is
opened it is possible to close it manually.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Delete activity</b></dt>
<dd><p>Remove the activity.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Commit activity</b></dt>
<dd><p>Commit the activity. If group commit is activated then the commit log
content is generated using a template file fully configurable.
See <a href="Files.html#Files">Files</a>.
If group commit is not activated then the log content for each
activity file is the file log catenated with the activity log. After
this operation the file&rsquo;s log are removed but the activity log is kept
as documentation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Query status</b></dt>
<dd><p>Query the status for all the source files contained in the activity.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Update</b></dt>
<dd><p>Update all the source files contained in the activity.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Compare against head revision</b></dt>
<dd><p>Show a visual comparison between the local activity files and the most recent
version of those files in the repository.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Build patch file</b></dt>
<dd><p>Create a patch file (in text format) for the activity. The patch file
contains a header (the activity log and file&rsquo;s logs) and the diff of
each file. The header format is fully configurable using a template
file. See <a href="Files.html#Files">Files</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Edit revision log</b></dt>
<dd><p>Edit the current revision log for activity. This log is shared with
all the activity files.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Remove revision log</b></dt>
<dd><p>Remove the current revision log for activity. This menu is present
only if the activity revision log exists.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>On a file line the contextual menu contains:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><b>Create new activity</b></dt>
<dd><p>Create a new activity. The name can be edited by double clicking on
it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Remove from activity</b></dt>
<dd><p>Remove the selected file from the activity and delete the
activity log.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Edit revision log</b></dt>
<dd><p>Edit the current revision log for the selected file.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
