Creating a Defect—Setting Attributes
The Set Attributes step involves the following two workflows. Choose the workflow you want in creating a defect:
• Define how the defect is to be created using the following fields:
|
Field Name
|
Description
|
|---|---|
|
Product
|
Displays the product name to which the defect belongs. You cannot edit this field.
|
|
Type
|
Displays Defect as the object type being created. You cannot edit this field.
|
|
Propagate information from the problem report
|
Creates a software defect from the problem report. This check box is available only if you are creating a defect from a problem report through the problem report information page.
|
|
Repository
|
Displays an attribute list, which is a combination of a defect-tracking adapter and a project. The values in this list along with the default values are predefined by an administrator. Select a value to create or associate a defect. You can select Windchill to create a defect only for Windchill without associating it with a remote defect.
|
|
Associate a Remote Defect
|
Creates a defect in Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software based on remote defect and associates both the defects. Click Search to search for the remote defect in the defect-tracking system. The attributes of the remote defect are used to create the defect in Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software. The Attributes area is automatically populated with the attribute values of the remote defect. You cannot edit the values. For more information, see Associating a Defect with a Remote Defect.
|
|
Enter Defect Attributes
|
Creates a defect and a remote defect if you have selected a defect-tracking adapter in the Repository field. Associates the remote defect with the defect. Select or type attribute values in the Attributes area to define the defect attributes.
|
• Define the defect attributes using the fields in the Attributes area. Select or specify values in the following fields.
