Using Team Concert for Customer Support
Hi All,
My team is currently evaluating some tools for an integrated solution for our software development process, particularly those that have support interface for our customer to submit requests either for bug fixes or new features, integrated with the team planning process. I'm not sure if Team Concert has this support interface. I know there is the "Work Items" feature in it, but I'm not sure if it can be customized for customers (external/non team members) to use. I'd appreciate for any help or pointer on this... Thanks. |

Yes, we in Rational use RTC extensively for customer support.
This includes the public "self administered" work items, submitted directly by customers, as well as private project areas where issues are captured that customers don't want visible to other customers. We just use the standard RTC work item extension mechanisms to add the fields, states, and display formats needed for the customer support records. Cheers, Geoff mxridha wrote: Hi All, |

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it. I looked into project area and the admin page, but there is no configuration for work items if I want to add or modify fields for customer support. Do you know where I can find the work item extension mechanism? Thanks again for your help! Best regards. Yes, we in Rational use RTC extensively for customer support. Hi All, |

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your pointer. I am using the web UI and couldn't find Process Configuration page of the Project Area or Project Template editor that shows the configuration for work items as captured in the article below. Do you know if this page is available in the web UI? Thanks Patrick for your help. Best regards.

No not yet. But we are working on it.
In the meantime, you'll have to keep using the Eclipse Client to configure the work items. |

I believe the Process Configuration page is currently only available in
the Eclipse client (i.e. you use the Eclipse client for process authoring). Cheers, Geoff mxridha wrote: Hi Patrick, |
