Modify an artifact type

Modify user attributes and attribute groups within the project.

Note: When you change default Project Tracker settings, any existing projects that are still using the default settings will inherit the changed settings. In projects where the original settings have been modified, a change in the global defaults has no effect.
  1. Go to the Project Tracker administration page.
    1. Click Admin in the CollabNet TeamForge navigation bar.
    2. On the site administration navigation bar, click Integrated App.
    3. Select Project Tracker and click Configure.
  2. Click Manage Artifact Types. The Manage Artifact Types page appears.
  3. Click the link for an artifact type that you want to edit. The Edit Artifact Type page is displayed.

    On this page, you can edit the following user attribute settings:


    • Display Name - Changes the label for a user attribute as it is displayed to a user.
    • Active - Checking this checkbox makes this attribute available to the user.
    • Requires Reason for Change - If checked, the user must supply a reason when editing the value for this user attribute.
    • Sequence # - Pick a different number from this list to change the order in which the user attribute is displayed.
    Note: You can also edit the following attribute group characteristics:
    • Active - Checking this checkbox makes this attribute group available to the user.
    • Sequence # - Pick a different number from this list to change the order in which the attribute group is displayed.
  4. To remove an attribute group, a user attribute, or a dependency rule, click the checkbox in the Select column, then Click Delete Selected.
  5. Click Save to save changes made to a particular section.
  6. Click Done when you are finished making all of your changes.
