Managing display of the Specifications table

Edit online

In the Changes application, the Specifications table displays attributes that are associated with a Change classification or with a Change. Users specify attribute values in the table. By default, this product shows the table only if a classification or a Change has associated attributes. You can configure the application to display the table regardless of whether there are associated attributes.

About this task

The Specifications table is shown in two instances: when the Change classification has associated extended attributes, and when the Change itself has associated attributes. The latter most commonly occurs when a Change is used to fulfill a service catalog request.

You might prefer that the Specifications table is displayed at all times, regardless of whether the classification or Change has associated attributes. In that case, you can configure the Changes application to cause the table to always be displayed.

Perform these steps to display the Specifications table regardless of whether there are associated attributes:

Procedure

  1. Open the Application Designer application (Open menu > System Configuration > Platform Configuration > Application Designer).
  2. Type CHANGE in the Application field, and press Enter to open a workspace for the Changes application.
  3. Open the Change tab, and scroll down in the display until the Specifications table is displayed.
  4. Right-click Specifications, and select Properties. It may take several seconds for the Table Properties dialog to be displayed.
  5. In the Table Properties dialog, open the Advanced tab.
  6. Delete the value in the Signature Options field, and close the dialog.
  7. Save the application design.

Results

After you reconfigure the Changes application using this procedure, the Specifications table will always be displayed in the application, regardless of whether attributes are associated with the classification or the Change.
