Adding, Updating, and Deleting References

You can add and update package references from the References tab of the Package window in the PPM Workbench. The following sections provide information about how to add, update, and delete references.

Adding References

The Package window References section contains additional package information. For example, you might add a document or URL as a reference to a package. You can add the following entities as package references:

  • Attachments

  • Packages (New and Existing)

  • Projects

  • Releases

  • Requests (New and Existing)

  • Tasks

  • URLs

For some references (such as requests and other packages), a functional dependency to the original package can be created. For example, you can specify that a request is a predecessor to the package. This means the package will not continue until the request is closed. For a list of the references and their possible dependency relationships, see Reference Relationships .

For information on how to add a reference, see Adding References to Packages from Package Workbench or Adding References to Packages from Standard Interface.
