    Tip: You can press the Ctrl key to select the results from across projects.
  5. Click New Server and specify the URL of Rational® Test Automation Server.

    The format of the URL is https://fully-qualified-domain-name:443.

    You cannot create a project from the desktop client. If there are no projects or if you are not a member of any project or team space, then you must create a project or become a member of a project or team space on the server.

  8. Click a row against the result and type the name of the label in the Labels column to add labels to the result.
  9. Optional: Click Add Common Labels and type the name of the label to apply a common label to the selected results.
