How do I get a particular labeled version of a folder in Borland StarTeam?

Question

I'm about to perform a bunch of folder moving operations in StarTeam (including some new nesting levels) and I would like to set a label so that I can roll back in case of issues. I figured out how to set a label on a folder and all its children, but I couldn't figure out how to get the version of that folder corresponding to that particular label. It seems like labels are tied to the files themselves and not the folders/folder structure.

I've switched to Subversion and FogBugz so I am rusty on StarTeam. I think you need a View Label.

1. From View menu, select Labels... to open the Labels dialog.
2. On the View tab, click New... button to open View Label dialog.
3. Type in label name as "Release 1.2.3.4", check Frozen, and hit OK.

To get back to the state,

1. From View menu, select Select Configuration... to open the Select a View Configuration dialog.
2. Select Labeled configuration, and pick "Release 1.2.3.4"

You can then create a new view from the view label to branch off you want to. See the Help file > Working with StarTeam > Managing Views. Here's a quote from Configuring a View:

By default, a view has a current configuration – that is, it displays the latest revisions of the items in the project. However, you can roll back a view to a past state based on a label, promotion state, or a point in time.
