A ViewSet is a collection of views in a specific configuration that persists each time you open and close the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client. Each ViewSet can be designed around one or more tasks, often corresponding to a specific role, such as a developer or project manager.

Your administrator may configure some ViewSets to be mandatory. Mandatory ViewSets automatically install on your Integrity Lifecycle Manager client at the time you connect to the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server. Mandatory ViewSets are automatically opened for you. You cannot close mandatory ViewSets; and if you delete them, they are automatically imported and opened the next time you start the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client.

If your administrator configures a ViewSet so that it is no longer mandatory, you must first delete the mandatory ViewSet before you are able to import the new non-mandatory version.

If no ViewSets are open in the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client — using the available buttons centrally located in the client window — you can still edit preferences, view help, and close the client window. Additionally, the following ViewSet buttons are available:
