Getting started with link validity and validity summary information in Engineering Lifecycle Management applications

Achieving and maintaining consistency across linked data can be challenging as changes propagate through it. Link validity helps you achieve consistency across artifacts and links as you make the changes and as they propagate through the linked data. This information is available only in projects that are enabled for configurations.

About this task

See Link validity in Engineering Lifecycle Management applications to read about link validity concepts and terminology, setting link validity, and about using validity summary information in your project.

For IBM Engineering Test Management (Engineering Test Management or QM) applications only: If your project is not enabled for configuration management, you cannot see link validity information. Instead, your project would use suspect link traceability. See the related topic to learn about the differences between these features.
