The workspace viewA set of mappings that specifies the correspondence between file locations in the depot and the client workspace. (sometimes called a client view) determines which portions of the depot are available for you to work with in P4VS and where local copies of depot files are stored in your workspace. If you use streams, the workspace view is generated and updated automatically. If you use classic depots, you must maintain the view manually, as described in this topic.
To define or change the workspace view for an existing workspace:

Type your view specification using Perforce client view syntax. Views consist of mappings, one per line. The left-hand side of the mappingA single line in a view, consisting of a left side and a right side that specify the correspondences between files in the depot and files in a client, label, or branch. The left side specifies the depot files, and the right side specifies the client files. See also workspace view, branch view, label view. specifies the depot files and the right-hand side specifies the location in the workspace where the depot files reside when they are retrieved from the depot. Example:
//depot/... //bruno/depot/... //user_depot/... //bruno/user_depot/... //projects/... //bruno/myprojects/...
