Associate a tracker artifact with other items

When a tracker artifact is related to other CollabNet TeamForge items, such as tasks, documents, or other artifacts, you can connect the tracker artifact to the other item by creating an association.

Creating associations between items enables you to define relationships, track dependencies, and enforce workflow rules.
  1. In the Site Explorer tree, drag an item and drop it onto the artifact you want to associate with it.
  2. If you are working with the Desktop editor, do either of the following in the Associations tab.
    • Drag an item from the Site Explorer tree and drop it onto the Associations table.
    • Click Add, and in the Enter Target window, enter the ID of the item you want to associate with the artifact - for example, "artf1001".
  3. Add a comment describing the reason for your association.
  4. Click OK. The item appears in the list of associations. To view the item, double-click the entry.
  5. To save local changes made in the artifact editor, click Submit.
