Setting project options

A TestTrack project contains all the information you want to track, including issues, requirements, requirement documents, test cases, test runs, security groups, users, customers, filters, test configurations, and workbook tasks. After projects are created using the TestTrack Server Admin Utility, the administrator or another high-level user needs to configure project options to control how TestTrack works and displays information.

You can set the following project options.

Note: If items were renamed, the new name is displayed in the Project Options dialog box.
