To access

In an ALM project, click Tools > Customize. Then click the Sprinter node in the left pane.

Important information

The settings available in the Sprinter page control which features are enabled in Sprinter. Users still need the correct permissions within ALM that allow them to perform various functions.

For example, suppose you select Allow editing of steps in Sprinter Run Mode. The features that allow step editing will be enabled in Sprinter. However, users that do not have test editing permissions in ALM will still be unable to edit steps in a test.

You can attach a movie to a defect, of a size that is up to the length of time defined by this setting. The maximum allowable length of a movie is 10 minutes.

Note:

• Increasing the length of movies that can be attached to defects may cause a delay in the time it takes to submit a defect to ALM and increase the storage needs of your ALM server.

• The length of the movie you can attach to a defect may be limited by the maximum size of an attachment you are allowed to attach to a defect in ALM.
