AccuBridge for Windows Explorer also simplifies organizational compliance with FDA, Sarbanes-Oxley and other company mandates for process controls and full audit-ability.

AccuBridge for Windows Explorer Features

  • Color-coded “icon decorations” are added to Windows Explorer icons, indicating the status of each item under AccuRev version control. Icon decorations appear in all of Windows Explorer’s display modes — Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons, List, and Details. Icon decorations also appear in the Search Results view.
  • AccuRev commands available within Windows Explorer include: Login, Logout, Create Workspace, Add, Keep, Promote, Revert, Edit, Open, Open With, and Update.
  • A Create Workspace Wizard leads users through the creation of a new AccuRev workspace and to specify a location for the workspace.
  • Exclusive Locking default creates a workspace that uses AccuRev’s exclusive file locking feature. This guarantees that two or more users can’t revise the same document at the same time.
"Our PeopleSoft and Siebel teams can now easily version their development artifacts with AccuRev using the new AccuBridge for Windows Explorer. Taking advantage of the multiple version history, they no longer are required to keep huge copies of databases lying around and can respond more quickly to maintenance and fix situations."
