Renaming record types or record type families

You can rename a record type or a record type family in a schema.
Before you rename a record type or a record type family consider the impact to existing schemas, states, actions, hooks, and queries. For more information, see Naming restrictions.

Note that you cannot rename these stateless system record types: ratl_replicas, history, attachments, groups, and users.

To rename a record type or a record type family:

  1. Start the Designer.
  2. In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer view, expand the Record Type, Record Type - Stateless, or Record Type Families folder in your schema.
  3. Right-click the record type or record type family and click Rename.
  4. Type a new name (within a schema, each record type and record type family name must be unique) and then press Enter.
After renaming a record type, you might need to update the values specified in any existing hooks or queries if they refer to an older name.
