- Using your Rational® ClearQuest® Web client
  Rational® ClearQuest® Web is a browser-based interface to Rational ClearQuest that runs on Windows, the UNIX system, and Linux. You can track defects and change requests in Rational ClearQuest Web through this interface. When a session times out, you can re-authenticate and continue where you left off because the state of the user interface is retained.
  - Understanding your Rational® ClearQuest® Web client
  - Using records to store change requests
    - About records
      A Rational® ClearQuest® database contains different types of records, as defined in the Designer. You can use different types of records for different projects and purposes. Each record type has unique fields and data requirements.
    - Record states and state transitions
      Change requests move through a life cycle from submission through resolution. Each stage in this life cycle is called a state, and each movement from one state to another is called a state transition.
    - Record types
      A record type is the layout or format for a particular type of change request. It defines the actions, fields, forms, behaviors, and possibly the state information associated with a record. Each record type is associated with its own state model, forms, and hooks, which control the collection and viewing of data for that type of change request.
    - Finding and viewing records
      Rational® ClearQuest® offers several methods to find and view records in your user database.
    - Viewing records
      You can use the List View or Tabbed View to view a record.
    - Creating and submitting records
      You can create and submit records for all the record types defined in the schema from the Rational® ClearQuest® Web interface.
    - Modifying multiple records
      You can perform the same actions on multiple Rational® ClearQuest® records in a query result set by using the multirecord update feature. For example, you can perform the Assign action to assign many defect records to the same person for the same iteration. You can use multirecord update to set the priority of multiple records to a single value.
    - Deleting records
      If at least one delete action is defined in your schema for a specific record type, you can delete a record of that record type.
    - Duplicating records
      If two records are similar, you can place one in a Duplicate state. A record can be a duplicate of only one record, but it can have more than one duplicate. For example, Record A can be a duplicate of Record B, and Record C can be a duplicate of Record B.
    - Reverting the state of duplicate records
      You can revert a duplicate record to the state it was in before it was marked as a duplicate. Reverted records can be modified.
    - Printing records
      You can print records for hardcopy versions.
    - Sending the Web address of records by e-mail
      You can provide direct access to a database record by sending the URL by e-mail.
    - Running recent records, queries, and charts again
      Rational® ClearQuest® Web keeps a history of recently run records, queries, and data-push charts during your current user session so that you can run them again.
    - Bookmarking records, queries and charts
      You can create a bookmark in your browser for a record, query, or data-push chart that you work with frequently.
    - Adding records, queries, or charts to Rational® ClearQuest® Favorites
      You can create a Rational® ClearQuest® Favorite for a record, query, or traditional data-push chart that you work with frequently.
    - Viewing and saving UCM change set versions
      You can track the progress of development work associated with a record by viewing the UCM change set versions. You can also save the UCM change set versions to a text file.
    - Viewing recently accessed records
      Rational® ClearQuest® Web keeps a history of the most recently accessed records only for your current user session so that you can easily view them again.
  - Adding attachments to records to store additional information
  - Using queries to find records
  - Viewing query results in reports
  - Analyzing query results in charts
  - Using integrations for Collaborative Lifecycle Management
    You can use Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) integrations with products based on Jazz technology, including IBM Rational Team Concert, IBM Rational Quality Manager, and IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation, to connect the work of all team members. Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations with Rational® ClearQuest® Web are also referred to as the Rational ClearQuest Bridge.
  - Creating REST URIs to log on and perform common tasks
    Using the Rational® ClearQuest® Web client, you can create Representational State Transfer (REST) Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) to log on to your user database and perform common tasks. REST URIs provide a uniform interface to Web resources, letting you access data by using any HTTP client.
  - Rational® ClearQuest® records enabled for UCM
    When you use the integration with DevOps Code ClearCase® Unified Change Management (UCM), Rational® ClearQuest® records enabled for UCM provide current information about associated UCM activity.
  - Working with database replicas
- Using the Rational® ClearQuest® Client
  Use the Rational® ClearQuest® Client to submit, modify, and track change requests and to analyze project progress.
- Using Rational® ClearQuest® for Windows® client
  Welcome to the Rational® ClearQuest® for Windows® client; the Microsoft™ Windows interface to Rational ClearQuest. You can use Rational ClearQuest to perform daily activities after the schema developer and administrator define and set up the schema, schema repository, and user database.
- Using Rational® ClearQuest® ALM
  The application lifecycle management (ALM) packages and ALM schema provide out-of-the-box solutions for ensuring ALM best practices in your new or existing Rational® ClearQuest® change management system.
Integrating
You can integrate Rational® ClearQuest® with other software by adding packages to existing schema.
