Fields the Integration Enables in QC 10.00

This section describes the initially disabled fields in Quality Center defects and requirements that the OpenText PPM-Quality Center Integration Tool enables to support the integration with OpenText PPM request types.

The integration automatically populates these Quality Center defect or requirement fields from data in OpenText PPM. These are not mappings you establish between fields in OpenText 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 OpenText PPM request. Clicking one of the links opens the OpenText PPM request (after login).
