To organize your work with tracker artifacts, you can make an artifact a "child" or a "parent" of
another artifact.
- A child artifact can have only one parent.
- A parent artifact can have any number of children.
- A parent artifact cannot be closed if a child is open.
-
Open an artifact in the artifact editor and click the
Dependencies tab.
- To specify a parent artifact, click Set Parent.
- If you know the artifact ID, click Add Child to specify it as a child artifact.
- To specify a child artifact, you can also drag it from the Site Explorer and drop it onto the Children artifacts table.
Note: If Set Parent is not visible, the artifact already has a parent artifact.
-
In the Enter Target window, enter the ID of the artifact which you're relating as the parent or child.
Note: If you used drag-and-drop, the artifact ID is already populated.
-
Add a comment that describes the relationship.
-
Click OK.
Details about the parent and child artifacts are displayed in the Dependencies tab. To view the parent or child artifact, double-click the corresponding "plus" icon.
-
Click Submit to save your work.
Tip: In the Planning Editor, you can create dependencies by dragging one artifact to another in the artifact table.
- To cancel a parent dependency, click
Delete Parent.
- To cancel a child dependency, click
Remove Child.
