Organization and project windows

Project elements, feedback, documents, views, glossary entries or quick access to different elements are displayed in different windows in organizations and projects. Which windows are offered to you depends on the set usage profile.

The organization (in organizations only)

You can open an Organization by clicking on the eye and then Show Organization in the organization tab.

The window opens to the right by default.

In this window, you can find all the query types, user profiles, employee pools as well as the views and queries about your projects. Projects and templates that are allocated to the organization will also be displayed.

The products (in projects only)

Open products by clicking on the eye in the project tab and then the command Show Products.

By default, the bar opens on the right side of the screen.

You can create, manage and edit the entire project contents – from requirements and documents to queries – in packages (directories).

Note
Sorting in the product view
You can sort the top level (package) manually. Contents in a package are sorted first by stereotype and then alphabetically.
The Stereotypes (in organizations and projects)

Open the window by clicking on the eye in the organization tab and then on the command Show Stereotypes.

The window opens to the right by default.

All project-relevant settings, such as document templates, patterns, state machines, query types, etc. that are not to be available to the project team members are managed here. Forms are also stored here. To open the window you need administrator rights.

In this window, you can adapt and expand existing stereotypes by creating new stereotypes, for example. Properties that are defined here when creating or editing elements are displayed in the tab Further properties. In the properties of a stereotype, you can enter a pattern for the generation of the identifier (unique ID of an element).

When you change the properties of an existing stereotype, these will be updated immediately in the project.
