    Identify the item (category) under the relationships tab

    In the relationships tab, the cross-referenced items are listed under the column: Item, Current State, Type of Relationship, and Description. It would be nice to identify which workspaces the items are originated since the items might be cross-referenced from multiple workspaces.

     

    e.g. certain item in [WS]Products might be related to items from [WS]Tests and [WS]Calculations. It would be nice to identify the items are either from [WS]Tests or [WS]Calcuations by adding another column called Workspace or Category.

     

    Thanks,

    Frank

    Frank, 

    Thank you for your input on the ability to show the related item’s Workspace.  While we look at how a feature like this fits into our roadmap, I thought it might be helpful to know that you can configure item descriptors to include displaying workspace.  This may or may not be helpful.

     

    You can access descriptor formatting (see image below):  Administration, Setup, General, Global Configuration Options…

    Thank you Jared for pointing out the global setup available! I agree it is an easy way to do tjhat way. However, add another column to identify the the type of the related items would be more flexible and readable.
