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.
- 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).
- 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.
