# Map part of the depot

If you are interested only in a subset of the depot files, map that portion. Reducing the scope of the workspace view also ensures that your commands do not inadvertently affect the entire depot. To restrict the workspace view, change the left-hand side of the `View` field to specify the relevant portion of the depot.

Example: Mapping part of the depot to the client workspace

Dai is working on the Jam project and maintaining the web site, so she sets the `View` field as follows:

    View:
        //JamCode/dev/jam/...       //dai-beos-locust/jam/...
        //JamCode/www/live/...      //dai-beos-locust/www/live/...
