Admin System Properties: Lab Resource Properties editor

Use this editor to add or to delete lab resource properties. For example, you could add Internet Explorer v7 and SeaMonkey as new types of browsers.

The lab resource catalog is a data model of types, root types, subtypes, and attributes that define lab resource properties in IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. Types are elements that contain fields, or attributes. In the lab resource catalog, examples of lab resource types are Machine and Operating system. These are examples of root types that can contain sub-types, and both root and sub types can contain attributes.

Attributes are fields that display in the user interface that can hold values for a lab resource type. Most attributes are defined on root types. However, you can also add attributes to sub types, as well as to new types that you define. When a user selects a type, to which you have added attributes, the new attributes display as fields in the user interface. If you add new attributes to a root type, those attributes will display for the root sub types.

When you delete a type or an attribute, it no longer displays in the user interface. However, you can view and restore deleted types and attributes if you select the Show hidden lab resource attributes and types check box.

Changes that you make in the Lab Resource Properties editor can appear in the following places:
