The Active Transactions Tab
(Show Active command)

When the Stream Browser is displaying element activity by transaction (not by element or by issue record), the Show Active command opens an Active Transactions tab, containing the transactions that created the versions that are currently active An element is said to be active in a workspace or stream if a new version of the element has been created there, and that version has not been either (1) promoted to the parent stream or (2) purged from the workspace or stream. See default group, backed, passive. in a particular stream or workspace. It may be the case that some, but not all, of the transaction's versions are currently active; the other versions may have already been promoted to the parent stream.

Notes (click to view):

Opening an Active Transactions Tab

In the Stream Browser, make sure development activity is being displayed by transaction ( button at right side of Stream Browser toolbar). Choose Show Active from the context menu of a stream or workspace. [note You can't invoke this command on a depot's base stream ("root stream") The top-level stream in a depot’s stream hierarchy.. The "active" concept does not apply to the versions in this stream, because there is no higher-level stream to promote versions to, and to inherit versions from.]

Active Transactions Tab Layout

The layout of the Active Transactions tab is virtually identical to that of the History Browser. Exception:

Working in a Active Transactions Tab

The sets of commands available in the Summary pane (upper) and Versions pane (lower) of the Active Transactions tab are virtually identical to those available in the History Browser. The differences are:

Promote

This command is enabled only in the Active Transactions tab, not in other History Browser contexts. In the Summary pane, it promotes the transaction's versions to the parent stream. [note Some of the transaction's versions may no longer be active, having been promoted or purged (Revert to Backed command). Invoking Promote operates on the versions that are still active.] In the Versions pane, it promotes the selected version (or set of versions) to the parent stream.

Revert

The Revert Transaction command is enabled in other History Browser contexts, but not in the Active Transactions tab.
