Setting Object Initialization Rules
The object initialization rules include the ability to set default values and display characteristics for the following attributes:
Folder paths
Default life cycle template
Default team template
Default numbering scheme
Default version scheme
Additionally, rules can be used to set the following:
Available life cycle templates
Attribute values
Display characteristics for other attributes
Although these rules can be set for individual product and library contexts, PTC recommends that you set them at either the organization or site level so that an entire organization or site is using the same set of rules. This promotes reuse and reduces unnecessary duplication at lower context levels.
