Adding Supporting Information

Before you promote an object to the next validation status, your organization may require that you provide documentation about the object: either a link to an output generated by the object, such as a report or log file, or a document such as a functional requirements document for the object.

• Outputs. You can use a log file to demonstrate that a Program or other executable ran successfully. You can use a report to demonstrate that an executable object has produced an appropriate report.
• Documents. You can upload any document as supporting information; for example, a requirements document or a set of test cases.

Note:

To add supporting information for an object definition, you must navigate to the definition in its Domain or Application Area. When you are in a Work Area you can add supporting information only for object instances.
