Adding New Area/Subarea Combinations

Area and Subarea fields are linked so that the values available in the Subarea field change dynamically according to the value selected in the Area field. These lists of values appear in both the Release Manager and Quality modules of your Siebel application. In Release Manager, an area value is associated with a feature.

As product parameters change in the course of development, you may need to add new Area and Subarea combinations to Release Manager.

To add an area/subarea combination

  1. Navigate to Site Map > Quality > Quality Administration.
  2. In the Quality Administration list, add a record for each area/subarea combination.

    3. For example, if you want a selection of Inventory in the Area field to constrain the choices in the Subarea field to Shipping, Receiving, and Cycle Counting, then create three records with the Area and Subarea fields completed as shown in the following table.

    Area
    Subarea
    Inventory
    Shipping
    Inventory
    Receiving
    Inventory
    Cycle Counting

  3. Complete the other fields in each of the records. Some fields are described in the following table.

    4. Field
    Comments
    Product Line
    Grouping of products with which this Area/Subarea combination is associated.
    QA Owner
    Quality Assurance team owner with which this Area/Subarea combination is associated.
    Engineering Group
    Engineering team with which this Area/Subarea combination is associated.

NOTE:  Because of the mappings created by Area records in this view, when a feature record is added, selecting a value in the Area field automatically populates the Subarea, Product Line, QA Owner, and Engineering Group fields.
