Attributes to track

The attributes tracked by Rational® Change are defined in the CR process, at a high level for all lifecycles.

Perform the following steps to define the attributes to track.

  1. Determine which attributes you want to show in dialog boxes, on reports, or in queries, and determine their types (for example, list box or text box).
  2. For each attribute, decide whether you want it to be writable or read-only, and whether its writability depends on who is modifying the attribute, and when.

For example, a request description attribute might be a text box editable at any time in a lifecycle by the administrator or the creator of the CR. However, a product name attribute might be a list box of predetermined values that only the administrator can modify.
