CA Clarity PPM Project Sub-Objects Accessible from CA Clarity PPM List Web Parts

Sub-objects of CA Clarity PPM projects can be stock objects or custom objects created in the organization implementation of CA Clarity PPM. Team, Risks, and Tasks are examples of stock objects. Additionally, each sub-object can have stock attributes, which are predefined in CA Clarity PPM, and custom attributes, which are user-defined.

You can define the following kinds of attributes for CA Clarity PPM objects:

• Large strings
• Multi-valued lookups
• Document attachments
• Time-varying attributes

Note: The attributes are not exposed in Microsoft SharePoint.

The following table provides information about the stock CA Clarity PPM project sub-objects that you can access using CA Clarity PPM List Web Parts and the associated pages in CA Clarity PPM from which the lists are retrieved.

The columns that appear by default in the All Items view of the list in a CA Clarity PPM List Web Part are the columns that are in the System partition default list view for that object in CA Clarity PPM. Additional information about some of the available data providers is included in the following list:

• Documents. All the documents contained in the CA Clarity PPM project Document Manager are displayed in a non-hierarchical list. The Parent Folder column, which appears by default, indicates each document's parent folder.

  Note: Document Manager security is honored when you access documents. Therefore, you can provide appropriate access rights to the CA Clarity PPM proxy user account for the project Document Manager to allow, or disallow access to certain documents.

• Task. A CA Clarity PPM List Web Part that displays tasks from a CA Clarity PPM project displays all the tasks in the entire work breakdown structure, regardless of the level that they are at. That is, the CA Clarity List Web Part displays task breakdown from the WBS page of project tasks. Additional fields, such as Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Level and WBS Sequence, can be added by as columns by modifying the Web Part view.

  Note: For CA Clarity PPM List Web Part to display tasks in the same order as in the project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) page, sort the Web Part by the WBS Sequence attribute. To show the tasks at a certain level of the work breakdown structure, filter the list by the WBS Level attribute. For example, to show all top-level tasks, filter the list to show only those items whose WBS Level is 1.
