Opening a local configuration from a global configuration

You can quickly open IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Management local configurations by using the Global Configuration Management user interface.

About this task

As you work in a global configuration, you might need to view or change a configuration in your Engineering Lifecycle Management application. Rather than manually finding the configuration in your Engineering Lifecycle Management application, use the convenient Open in New Window option to open the selected configuration in your Engineering Lifecycle Management application, without leaving your current global configuration context.

Procedure

To open a local configuration in a Engineering Lifecycle Management application, either click the stream name or click the menu for the configuration and select Open in New Window.
