Tips:

- To easily locate warnings or errors in the Cross Project Customization Report, click the Find button to open the browser's search tool, and search for the word `warning` or `error`.

- To preserve formatting when mailing a report to another user, save the file as an HTML archived web page by saving it with the .mht file extension.

- If transition rules are set for user groups in the linked or template projects, each rule is listed in the Transition Rule column in the format `<from state>,<to state>`. For example, `New,Open New,Rejected Open,Fixed Open,Rejected` indicates that the user group can change the field value from New to Open or Rejected, and from Open to Fixed or Rejected.
