Dimensions CM Requests

When a problem, bug, or enhancement arises, you can create a Dimensions CM request to represent that change or request. Requests help in the development lifecycle by automating the change process and reducing corrective cycles. Requests also have lifecycles.

Dimensions CM requests ordinarily affect one or more design parts and have relationships with other objects such as items and design parts for the purposes of change authorization, change tracking, and impact analysis.

Dimensions CM requests can be grouped into a work package, which is a high-level request for a set of interrelated changes or tasks. A work package can only be closed once all requests it contains are closed.

Along with native Dimensions CM requests, you can use requests from other request providers, for example, Atlassian Jira or Micro Focus ALM Octane. For details, see the Dimensions CM online help.
