快照视图 基于本地文件系统（例如Subversion中的工作区）：

Snapshot views are based on the local filesystem (like a workspace in Subversion):

• 您可以将文件加载到硬盘上的任何位置


• 您必须' cleartool更新'刷新其内容

• you load files anywhere you want on your hard drive
• you have to 'cleartool update' to refresh its content

动态视图基于网络内容：它们表示网络内容（配置规范选择的远程VOB版本）的动态视图（如总是刷新）

Dynamic views are based on network content: they represent the dynamic (as in "always refreshed") view of a network content (the remote VOB versions selected by the config spec)

• 您只能通过动态视图安装点（在Windows上是 M：\ 或 / view 在Unix上：这是MVFS挂载点：MultiVersion文件系统）


• 您不必刷新它们

• you access them only through the "dynamic view" mount point (M:\ on Windows or /view on Unix: it is a MVFS mount point: MultiVersion Filesystem)
• you don't have to refresh them

请参见此SO答案的第二部分，用于讨论何时使用动态视图与快照。

除了快照视图外，我经常使用它们（动态视图） ，这意味着它是查看文件的好工具（例如，您可以使用动态视图来调整其配置规格，直到您会看到想要的内容，然后将这些选择规则复制到通常的快照视图中）

I often use them (the dynamic views) in addition of snapshot views, meaning it is a great tool to just "see" the files (you can for example use a dynamic view to tweak its config spec until you see what you want and then copy those select rules into your usual snapshot view)
