Configuring a view for previewing linked elements in Rational Focal Point

To enable users of the Rational® solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) to preview elements that are published from IBM® Rational Focal Point™, you must configure a preview view for the linked elements module. You select or create a view that includes only the attributes that are suitable for preview from a CLM application. When the selected view is displayed, it is read-only.
