Example of Generating Change Numbers Automatically
You can define assignment rules that generate change numbers automatically based on attributes such as extensible flexfields.
Scenario
- <name of the product team captured using an extensible flexfield> <3 digit numbers starting from 101 that are incremented automatically for each new change >
You have created an extensible flexfield to capture the name of the product team that requested the change.
The change number will be autogenerated once you enter the name of the team and save your changes. You can also create a message to convey how the change number is generated.
Here’s a table that summarizes the values you must enter in the Create Rule Set dialog box.
Field |
Value |
---|---|
Composite | No |
Type | Assignments |
Association type | Change type |
Association Name | The change type with which you want to associate the rule set. |
