Menus
The Managing page's menu bar has the following menus:

Edition Names
The Managing page always shows the edition names for the packages and classes that are in the workspace.

Packages Pane
The Packages pane shows the configuration of contained package editions, for the project that you are browsing. Select a package to see its configuration of class editions (in the Types pane) and its owner (indicated by > in the Package Group Members pane).

The pop-up menu for this pane has the same options as the Packages menu. Some options are Replace with (to reload), Manage > Version, and Manage > Add Users to Group. Hold down the Ctrl key to select more than one package for any of the menu options.

Types Pane
The Types pane shows the configuration of contained classes and interfaces, for the package selected in the Packages pane. Select a class or interface to see its owner (in the Type Owner pane) and its developer (in the Managing page's status line).

The pop-up menu for this pane has the same options as the Types menu. Some options are Manage > Release and Manage > Change Owner.

Package Group Members Pane
Displays the list of developers who can own classes in the package that is selected in the Packages pane. The owner marker (>) appears next to the name of the package owner. By default, this person's name will be selected if you choose Change Workspace Owner from the pop-up menu for this pane.

The pop-up menu has the same options as the Users menu. These include changing membership in the package group, changing the package owner, and seeing which packages or classes are owned by one member of the package group.

The pop-up menu only allows you to add members to one package group at a time. To add to more than one group, hold down the Ctrl key when selecting the packages and then select Users > Add from the menu bar at the top of the page.

Type Owner Pane
Displays the owner of the class or interface selected in the Types pane. (The developer's name appears in the window's status line, when you select a class or interface in the Types pane.) By default, this person's name will be selected if you request to Change Workspace Owner from the pop-up menu for this pane.
