On the Attributes page of the Configure menu,
you can create attributes and update information about existing attributes.
When you modify attribute settings, click the module that
the attribute is part of and click the attribute. You can enter the
following information about the attribute:
- Name: Provide a name for the attribute.
- Attribute RDF Property URI: Provide a unique
URI according to the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)
standard for the attribute. You can use the URI from the specifications
mentioned in http://open-services.net/specifications/.
For example, you can use the ChangeRequest resource, a resource specified
by OSLC, to define your attribute URI http://open-services.net/ns/cm#ChangeRequest.
The URI is taken from OSLC CM specification. By default, Rational® Focal Point™ provides
a unique URI to each attribute that is not of OSLC standard.
- Alias: You can use an alias when you integrate
with other tools through web services 2.0. The default value is a
random auto-generated Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), which
you can use instead of your Rational Focal Point ID.
You can change the alias, but it must be unique.
- Description: This text is visible when
you hover the mouse pointer over the attribute title and when users
edit the attribute.
- Administrator Notes: In this field, you
can enter tips or information for other administrators. For example, "This
attribute must not be editable in any views." The administrator
notes are displayed in the attribute setup when you configure access
levels in views and when you add global attributes to modules.
- Position Before: This setting determines
where the attribute is placed.
