If you have an Edit package, you can edit attribute values by using the web client. You can open the attribute editors from the module display or from the Attributes pane.
Before you begin
Make sure that you have an Edit package. Your current package is displayed in the header of the web client workspace.
About this task
Avoid entering extremely large amounts of data, such as 1 MB of text, in module-level attributes. Large content in attributes can slow navigation in the DOORS® Web Access database explorer or cause the navigation to time out.
Procedure
- Open the Options menu for the attribute that you want to edit.
The Options menu is displayed when you click the arrow
in the upper right corner of any attribute in the grid. The arrow is displayed in each attribute in the current row, and when you hover the cursor over any attribute in the grid.
- Select Edit Value. The editor for the attribute is displayed. If the Edit Value option is not displayed in the Options menu, you do not have access to edit the attribute value. For more information about access rights in Rational® DOORS, see the Rational DOORS online help.
