General questions about using TeamForge

Common questions about using TeamForge.

• Moving to a CollabNet TeamForge project from a CollabNet Enterprise Edition project
  If you have used the tools in CollabNet Enterprise Edition, you'll find the equivalent tools in CollabNet TeamForge familiar.
• What's the best way to search the CollabNet User Information Center?
  Searching this site with the Eclipse search tool is a little different from searching the Web with a service such as Google. Here are some guidelines for getting the most out of a search on this site.
• What kinds of tracker searches are available?
  If you want to retain your searches for tracker artifacts, you can save them and share them with other project collaborators.
• Migrating Issue Tracker
  When Issue Tracker data is migrated from CollabNet Enterprise Edition to TeamForge, you will see these changes.
• What is CollabNet TeamForge ?
  CollabNet TeamForge is an integrated suite of Web-based development and collaboration tools that synchronizes distributed teams and disparate processes to simplify development.
• What software configuration management tools are available in CollabNet TeamForge ?
  From within CollabNet TeamForge, users can browse the contents of a project's source code repositories and view detailed information about code commits, changed files, and associations with other CollabNet TeamForge items.
• What is CollabNet Build and Test?
  CollabNet Build and Test is a plugin for the Hudson continuous integration tool. It provides integrations for CollabNet TeamForge tracker, file release and document applications, authentication and authorization, and TeamForge Lab Management.
• What happens when I post to a moderated discussion forum?
  On posting a message to a moderated discussion forum, the message is archived in an unmoderated state until approved by a moderator. However, the messages posted by trusted users do not require the moderator's approval.
• How are tasks synchronized?
  CollabNet TeamForge tasks and Microsoft Project tasks are synchronized using an automatically generated journal file.
• Why are Microsoft Project and CollabNet TeamForge doing things I don't expect?
  When you synchronize Microsoft Project and CollabNet TeamForge, in some conditions the tool works as designed but the behavior might seem unexpected. For example, an empty task folder in CollabNet TeamForge creates a blank task in Microsoft Project.
• How can I access the native install version of SourceForge? I can only find the VMWare version.
  You will need to contact your account manager; the SourceForge VMWare license does not include access to native install media.
• How can I reduce the number of emails from monitoring a folder?
  Monitoring a folder might spam the mailboxes with emails that are generated for every small change. Email notification preferences under the Monitoring sub-tab under My Workspace can be modified to Send Daily Digest Email, which provides a summary of the email alerts.
• What is the file size limit on uploads or attachments in SourceForge?
  SourceForge has a 2GB file size limit on uploads or attachments.
• Why do the open tracker counts differ from when I filter on "open"?
  The "Open" category on the summary screen is based on the "meta" status Open. It includes multiple statuses; "Open", "Fixed", and any other statuses that are defined as equivalent to Open by the tracker admin for your project.
• How do I change the columns displayed in the tracker list?
  You can select the columns you want to see on any list-display artifacts page. You set your column preferences for each tracker independently.
• Can I assign an artifact or task to a group of users?
  Unfortunately this is not possible with the current implementation of groups in CollabNet Team Forge.
