By default, a stream inherits the versions currently in its parent stream . If you assign a
basis time to a stream, it inherits the versions that were in the parent stream at a specified
point in time.

You can fill in the individual subfields manually, or use the Select Date button to
display choices ("2 days ago", etc.) that fill in the subfields automatically. Once
these subfields are filled in, you can revise them individually or by clicking the
Select Date button again.
1. Dynamic stream with basis time vs. Snapshot
Setting a basis time on a stream does make it like a snapshot of its parent stream -- initially. But
after that, new versions can be promoted to such a "time-based stream" from child workspaces
and from other streams; you cannot promote new versions to a snapshot. Since you can change
the basis time of a time-based stream as often as you wish, it can serve as a "moving snapshot" of
its parent stream.
2. Another way to control which versions are inherited from the parent stream
The basis-time facility includes versions based on when they were created. The include/exclude
facility includes elements based on their pathnames.
The Workspaces Tab / The Open Workspace Dialog
The Workspaces tab displays summary information on some or all of the workspaces in the
AccuRev repository.
The Open Workspace dialog, a slight variant of the Workspaces tab, makes it easy to open a File
Browser tab on a selected workspace.
From either one, you can create a new workspace.
