ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration Request Type

The PPM request type that ALM provides for integration with
QC/ALM project defects is the ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration request type. This request type uses only the ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration workflow. To prevent you from inadvertently using a workflow that is not enabled for this integration, you cannot choose a different workflow. This request type includes the QC/ALM Defect Information field group.

Figure 6-1 shows the Create New ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration page that appears when you create a request and select the ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration request type. Table 6-1 describes the fields in the request, including some fields that do not appear until the request is submitted for creation or until other conditions are met.
