Fields the Integration Enables in QC 10.00
This section describes the initially disabled fields in Quality Center defects and requirements that the PPM-Quality Center Integration Tool enables to support the integration with PPM request types.
The integration automatically populates these Quality Center defect or requirement fields from data in PPM. These are not mappings you establish between fields in PPM and Quality Center. The integration updates some Quality Center fields on an ongoing basis as indicated.
In addition, the Attachments tab in Quality Center lists URLs for all of the attachments to the PPM request. Clicking one of the links opens the PPM request (after login).
