Assigning a change request refers to assigning the status of the change request as well as who is currently responsible for
the change request.
Select the folder containing the change request in the Server Explorer or in one of the Eclipse Explorers.
Select the change request, then choose
Properties from the
Change Request menu or context menu.
The
Change Request Properties dialog box opens.
Review the settings and decide on an appropriate status. You can select
Open,
Is Duplicate,
As Designed, or
Deferred.
If you select
Open, the
Responsibility changes to the person best qualified to fix or enhance the product, as described in the change request.
If you select Is
Duplicate or
As Designed, the
Responsibility changes to the person who submitted the change request. The assumption is that the person who submitted the change request
will want to know about, verify, or perhaps challenge this change in status.
Click
Apply, then click
Next or
Previous to review another change request.
