Clearcase: How come no one can see the new file in any of their views?

Question

I just added a new file to the Project X directory. How come no one can see the new file in any of their views?

Answer 1

There are several possible resolutions:

Make sure that the user created the element using Add to Source Control from the menu selection (or using the cleartool mkelem command).
Check in the element that was added, making sure the directory where the elements have been added has been checked in.
Make sure other users have a view with a config spec that allows their view(s) to see the new element.
Make sure other users have updated their snapshot views.
