If a file release is related to other TeamForge items, such as documents, tasks, tracker
artifacts, integrated application objects, or news items, you can connect the file release
to the other item by creating an association.
Creating associations between items helps you define relationships, track
dependencies, and enforce work flow rules. Some example uses of file release
associations include:
- Associate a release with a requirements document.
- Associate a beta release with a task related to managing the beta program.
- Associate a release with tracker artifacts representing bugs fixed in the
release.
Note: You can also associate tracker artifacts such as bugs and feature requests with
the related file releases. You do this as part of working with the tracker.
