In the current version of Dimensions, by default, attribute rules are ordered by:
From state, then,
To state, then,
Rules (not Required ahead of Required), and finally,
Role.
In the example below the attributes rules relating to the attribute PLAN_FINISH are ordered as follows:
|
Attribute |
From |
To |
Role |
Rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
PLAN_FINISH |
REVIEW |
WORK |
CRB |
Required, Writeable |
|
PLAN_FINISH |
REVIEW |
WORK |
IMPLEMENTOR |
Writeable |
|
PLAN_FINISH |
|
|
TESTER |
|
NOTE In versions of Dimensions CM up to, and including 10.1.3, the attribute rules were ordered by role; and rules that were non-mandatory took precedence over mandatory rules. This meant that an attribute rule with no From and To states would take precedence over one that had specified From and To states.
You can revert to this behavior, by adding the following symbol to dm.cfg on the Dimensions server machine:
