Setting default values for various properties?
« on: November 02, 2011, 04:51:39 am »
Is there a place to configure default values for things like the Glossary entry type, scenario type and auto name counters, status/complexity/version etc?

I want it to always create glossary entries as 'Technical' by default, and to automatically use specific auto name counters when new projects are created. Also it'd be really nice if

Also is there a way to 0 fill the auto name counters? e.g. set requirement counter to REQ0001 and have it automatically generate REQ0002 etc.


qwerty

There's no single place. Some options are stored in the registry and thus are user specific (you can import those registry parts however through a .reg file). Others like the auto counter are stored in tables (can't recall which but it's not too hard to find).

Seems like in a world of xml they should be accessible from one place, doesn't it? I was hoping for something like eclipse.ini or Firefox about:config.

Okay, I'm an idiot on the auto-counters. I haven't tried leading 0s since way, way back and I believe they didn't work back then. Just watched the requirements tracking intro video and they do exactly that - throw in whatever leading zeros my OCD requires and it tracks them that way.

Now if it just had octal or hex counters...  :o
