Change Records
Go Up to Working with Objects in the Repository
Increasing your ability to collaborate in an Agile environment, Change Records, Tasks and Change Management Center give you the ability to track and manage the changes made by Repository check-ins. Every check-in is stored in the repository as a change record. Users can associate tasks from third-party tools, such as Atlassian JIRA, to specific projects available within the Repository Project Center. Similar support also exists in Team Server, where you can add, change, and delete the same tasks.
