Dynamic views are a clearcase concept. Basically it's a virtual file system that uses a config spec to represent a particular branch in source control. They can be very useful in certain circumstances ( as the build/install lead I'm in dozens of vobs and branches daily and I wouldn't want to have to always be loading snapshot views locally to touch a file here and there) but they aren't approriate in other situations such as opening an entire solution and/or build code.
So my short answer would be, don't do that. As a side note, I've kind rolled my own ClearCase UCM with a program called ViewMaster. It's kind of like the child's toy where you click the button and get to see a different picture. Developers pick from a (filterable ) list of builds and select Open and their dynamic view is reconfigured for that baseline.
