Any text attribute within an attribute group can be used as an identifier of an
artifact.
Only one attribute can be marked as the identifier. The attribute types allowed to be
the identifiers of artifacts are short texts, long texts and email addresses. Short text
attribute types are most suitable as the identifier, but a long text type may also be used.
-
Click the links Project Tracker> Manage Artifact Types in your project home
page.
-
Click an artifact type, for example Defect.
-
On the Edit Artifact Type page, click an Attribute Group; for
example Duplicate Check Info.
-
The text field Summary is probably marked with the radio button
"Use as identifier" by default. If you would like to change the
identifier, you can select another text field in any other group as the identifier and
that field with take the place of the Summary field as the
identifier.
If the
Summary field or the text field marked as the identifier
is deleted from the group, the system will automatically choose another text field as the
identifier and mark that as a Required field.
If the text field selected as the identifier
has the value "application not working" then this text will appear in two
ways:
- Along with the issue number in the subject lines of email generated due to changes or
comments in the artifact. For example:
-
[<projectname>][SC1][Modified] application not working
- When you view the artifact, the page header will display the artifact ID and the
identifier.
-
For example: Project Tracker: Defect ID SC1: application not working
