Associate a tracker artifact with a code commit

When checking in files to your SCM repository, you can create links to one or more tracker artifacts or other CollabNet TeamForge items.

Associations track the relationship between code and the bugs, feature requests, or other tracker artifacts that the code addresses. You can also associate code commits with other CollabNet TeamForge items, such as tasks or documents.

A project administrator can make associations mandatory for all code commits.

  1. Before making a code commit, select the artifact in the Site Explorer.
  2. Right-click and select Create log message. The artifact ID and title are copied to the clipboard in the format [artfID]: title. For example, "[artf1001]: Test for user-select field".
  3. When making a code commit, paste the text into the appropriate location, such as the Subversion log message text area. The artifact gets associated with the commit.
