Change the default open mode for one DOORS module

Question & Answer


Question

Is it possible to change the default open mode for a specific module in IBM Rational DOORS so that it is READ_ONLY rather than Exclusive Edit?

Cause

The documentation about "Select an edit mode" indicates you can change the default open mode, but that applies to all modules in DOORS; not a select item.

Answer

No, it is not possible to change the DOORS configuration so only a select module opens in a different mode.

Note: Administrators familiar with DOORS Extension Language may write a script to trigger on the pre-open event of a module to alter the behavior for a designated module.
