OVERVIEW
A common data interface allows the user to set a connection between two or more projects using a common item by establishing traceability between work items.
In Orcanos, Embed Filter(View) in the description area allows the user the traced Item data.
HOW TO ADD COMMON INTERFACE
- Create two Projects – Project A and Project B
- Create a Solution as Solution AB and add the Project A and Project B in it.
- In Project A add any work item like “REQ”
- In Project B add same or any other work item like “RISK”
- Add traceability between two items using the link type Dependent On.
CREATE FILTER
- Filter with Projects = SolutionAB and Item Type = All
- User defined Criteria: id in (select id from objects where obj_key in (select obj_source from object_relations where obj_target like ‘%[$ME]%’)) or id in (select id from objects where obj_key in (select obj_target from object_relations where obj_source like ‘%[$ME]%’))
EMBED FILTER IN ITEM DESCRIPTION
- Embed the Filter created above in Project A or Project B for user wish to view the Traced Item Information of the Traceability Tab
- We can optimize the traceability data by defining the Traceability Criteria in the Filter
In case an item is traced with different work items like 1 Risk, 3 DMS Items and 1 DOC Item, we need to make the changes in the Embed Filter.
- Edit the Item Description
- Click on Source icon from the Description Toolbar
- Search for the Embed filter using the Embed filter name
- Add the Work Item codes in the obj-type separated by comma (Do not give space when adding multiple work items)
<p><a name=”FILTER_168″ obj-type=”RISK,DOC,DMS” version_id=”16″>DOC to DOC</a></p>
Linked DEFECT Items are not listed even added in obj-type as work item filter is not shared with Defect work item.
