Adding or removing release favorites
The Release Favorites feature makes available at the top
of the release tree. This feature is useful for releases that you
use frequently. Many dialog boxes, such as Query, Properties, Create
Task, use the release tree.
Customizing the dialog boxes and panes
You can customize where information displays in tables
by adding, reorganizing, or removing columns in any dialog box that
contains a table.
Changing colors in the interface
You can change color settings to suit your style. The colors
you configure apply to all explorers, dialog boxes, and panes.
Changing the font type and size
You can change the font type and size that displays in
all explorers, panes, and dialog boxes. Additionally, you can set
the font type and size for all messages displayed in Rational Synergy.
Managing tabs in the Work pane
The Work pane is the main view in Rational Synergy. If you have
opened several objects in the Work pane, one
tab displays for each object that you have opened. To find specific
projects and tasks quickly, close some or all of the unnecessary tabs,
scroll through the tabs, or list the objects that are open in tabs.
Closing a project
If you have opened several projects in the Work pane,
one tab displays for each object that you have opened. Lots of open
tabs can make it difficult to find the projects that you are actively
working on. You can close old projects that you no longer need in
the Work pane.
Adding a property to a column heading
You can add a property to the table header context menu.
For example, you can view the change_request values
in the Work pane table. Enter change_request in
the Add Property dialog box, and the table column
shows the values for the Rational Change
change request.
Refreshing choices during a session
You can refresh choices in the Properties, Query,
and Create Task dialog boxes that have changed
since you started your session.
Displaying the Releases explorer
By default, developers do not see the Releases explorer.
However, if you often view process-related objects (processes, process
rules, releases, and folder templates), you can use the following
steps to display the Releases explorer. This
option also controls menu items for process-related objects.
Showing the Transfer Sets options
Transfer sets options are available to teams that use Rational Synergy Distributed.
Build managers and DCM managers can set up a database to use DCM by
using the dcm command in Rational Synergy CLI.
Showing the Security tab in the Properties dialog boxes
The Security tab is available to teams that have a group
security license and have set up groups in their database. These teams
might allow some users to check out, modify, and view certain objects
while disallowing other users.
