The topics in this section explain how to perform tasks
that are associated with projects or that apply to all types of artifacts.
Creating projects, folders, and artifacts Artifacts is a general term for the objects within
a repository, and are the lowest level of objects that are displayed
in the Project Explorer and project Artifacts page. You use projects
and folders to manage artifacts. You can use the User Dashboard or
the Project Explorer view to open repository connections and create
projects, folders, and artifacts. Use templates to create projects
with sample data. You also create artifacts from the Artifacts project
page, the File menu, or the New button
on the toolbar.
Creating relationships between artifacts by using links
A link represents a relationship between artifacts. Links
are mechanisms for referring to related information. You create some
links manually while other links are created automatically when you
perform certain tasks.
Project pages and user dashboard
Use the Artifact, Requirements, and Administration pages
of the project to view and manage artifacts, membership, attribute
groups, templates, and Rational® RequisitePro® integration.
Use the User Dashboard to access your subscribed projects, your recent
artifacts, recently updated artifacts, or recent comments for you.
Creating and deleting project snapshots
A project snapshot is a capture of an entire project at
a specific moment in time. It includes all artifacts, folder trees,
and the public tag list.
Creating reviews
A review is a group of artifacts that you want reviewed
by specific team members.
Creating collections
A collection is a set of artifacts level that you create
for a specific purpose. The artifacts in the collection can be the
latest version in your project or you can set them to versions captured
in a project snapshot.
Creating reports
You can create predefined reports using the report templates
that are included with Rational Requirements
Composer.
