How to see members added in variant in project view?

Hi,

this might be obvious, but at the moment not for me:

Is there a way to see members that are added in a project variant in the project view?

One of our users would like to see these members without having to create a variant sandbox.

As far as I know, the project view always shows the mainline.

Is there a way to show the variant?

    Hi Stefan,

    try MENU / Project / Open Project ...

    or CLI "si viewproject"

    and select the variant you are interested in.

    Using this you won't need a sandbox to see/fetch any member of the variant.

    Note:

    You could also create a variant Sandbox and use the option "sparse".

    This would create only the directory structure for the sandbox on you drive (really fast), but still give you access to the entire project development path's content.

    To fetch a member you would have to "check-out" (you can use option "no lock" so you won't need a change package).

    Matthias,

    ahh, I knew it would be possible...

    Menu/Project/Open Project

    and selecting the variant is the way I missed.

    I was always working in the dynamic "Project View" which only showed the mainline.

    But I think it is not possible to show a variant in the dynamic view...!?

    Thanks for your help,
