Establishing a system of process rules allows you to:
- Require that process items are used every time files are added or checked into the project.
- Stipulate that only certain types of items with specific statuses can be used as process items in the project.
- Enable the use of enhanced process links for the project.
Note: To set process rules, you must have the access rights required to change project properties. Usually, only team leaders and
administrators have these rights. You must also verify that project users have the rights to see and modify items in the project
view, to create and modify links on files and process items, and to create tasks and link to tasks if using the enhanced model.
