V9.0.1.5

• ClearQuest Web client

- Form Selection

The Form Selection feature allows an administrator to create multiple forms for any record type.  Users can set their own preferred default form to use for submitting or viewing a record and can switch to another form when working with a record. 

This feature allows the administrator to provide forms that help users complete specific actions more efficiently.  For example, a simplified submit form could have all the required fields on a single tab, or a triage form could use a single tab for all the fields needed to evaluate incoming defects.

To learn more, see the Form Selection topic on the IBM Knowledge Center.
