12.2. Source Code File Details
When you click on a file in the source code file list described above, you are taken to the file details page illustrated below:
This page is made up of three areas; the left pane is for navigation, the upper part of the main pane contains information regarding the file, and the bottom part of the right pane contains three tabs that display a preview of the file (if textual), the list of file revisions stored in the version control system, and a list of associated artifacts.
The navigation pane consists of a link that will take you back to the source code file list, as well as a list of other files in the current folder. This latter list is useful as a navigation shortcut; you can quickly view the detailed information of all the peer files by clicking on the navigation links without having to first return to the main file list page.
The top part of the main pane allows you to view the details of the particular file in the version control system. Clicking on the “File Path” hyperlink will actually open the file in a separate window, and depending on the type of file, it may display in the page or prompt you to download it to your local computer. The “Latest Revision” hyperlink allows you to view details of the latest revision (see section 12.4 below).
The lower part of the main pane can be switched between the three different views by clicking the appropriate tab. Initially the pane will be in “Preview” mode, but it can be switched to “Revisions”, or “Associations” as well. The functionality in each of these views is described below:
