Every schema must have a default record type. The default record type can
be state-based or stateless. Rational ClearQuest uses the default record type
to create a toolbar button in the Ratoinal ClearQuest client, which users
can click to submit a record of that type. For example, for a default record
type of Defect, Rational ClearQuest clients contain a toolbar button named Submit
Defect.
To view the default record type for the schema you created in the Create a schema exercise:
- In the ClearQuest Designer click . The Open Schema window opens.
- Select my_sample_schema from the table of schemas. Click Next.
- Click Finish.
- Expand the Record Types and Record Types
- Stateless folders. Notice that the folder icon for the Defect record
type contains a red line, which identifies it as the current default record
type.
- Right-click Defect. Notice that Default
Record Type is checked. The Common schema, on which your my_sample_schema is
based, contains only one record type: Defect. If you have multiple record
types, you can change the schema default record type by right-clicking
a record type and selecting Default Record Type.
