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 Stereotypes (in organizations and projects)

To open the window, click the Show Stereotypes command by selecting the corresponding icon in the left-hand menu bar of a project or organization.
