5.1.3. Project

Project

While "Product" and "Component" records are considered projects, a "Project" record is also provided. Project records are intended to be general purpose and used where products and components don't really fit. For example, a team may be responsible for server maintenance or IT infrastructure type tasks which are not related to a software product or component. Also, it may be that within a product a set of customizations for a particular customer need to be grouped together. In such a case, a project record is very appropriate.

When in an open project, the project's type may be changed — for example, a Component can be changed to a Product, etc. To change the project type, simply select a different type from the "Type:" combo box. Before the change takes effect, it must be saved.
