Applications - Overview

Software Applications List

The Application List screen displays when you first open a SCOPE database. It can also be selected from under the main menu home option or File - Application and Project List. At the top level, it displays a list of the software applications. On lower levels, it gives the release and count sessions.

SCOPE can store the functional models of different versions of a software application known as Releases. Releases are listed under each application in one of three predefined groups depending on the status of the Release. See Releases - Overview

SCOPE colours the application and release names to show you if they have special status. An orange applcation name means that you have only been granted read-only access to that application. You cannot change any details about the application or its related releases and count sessions. A red release name means that the release has been locked by another user. SCOPE Enterprise only allows one user at a time to edit a release.

The buttons available, and what those buttons do, alters as you navigate through the application tree. For example, some options are available only when you have a release selected. The most important options available from the application list are:

• Delete. Will remove the application / release or count session from the SCOPE database.
• Details. Show and edit the detail for application, release or count session.
• Cut. To move a release or count session to another place in the hierarchy.
• Copy. To duplicates an application, release, or count session to another place in the hierarchy.
• Paste. When pasting, you can only paste to somewhere that makes sense. For example, you can't paste a count sesssion, where an application belongs.
• Report. Different reports will be enabled depending on your location in the tree.
• Snapshot. Creates a new SCOPE database with just a single release, or a single count session.
• Export. Export the selected application, release or count session.
• Import. Import into the current location in the tree. It must make sense, so example dont import a count session into another application.
• Update to baseline. Select a release with update rights, then update the baseline to the new release.
