Defect Information Page
A defect represents an issue associated with a particular software artifact such as a software build.
The defect information page is a collection point for information related to a defect object. The information page of a defect object is accessed by clicking the information icon .
From the information page, you can perform actions on a defect and view the object attributes and any related information.
For an overview of information page functionality, see About Information Pages and Customizing Information Page Tabs.
Actions
Information pages contain a list of applicable actions in a menu just below the object identification line.
See Common Actions for a list of common actions in Windchill. The availability of these actions depends on the status of the defect object and your access to it. For more information about status indicators, see Object Status.
Use the Set State action to set the lifecycle state of a defect.

When you perform any action on the information page of a defect that is linked to a remote defect, it automatically queries the defect-tracking system where the remote defect resides for defect attributes. The mapped attributes of the defect in Windchill is compared with the remote defect attributes. If there are differences, you are prompted to confirm whether the defect information in Windchill must be updated to match the attributes of the remote defect.
