List Maintenance Dialog Box Tabs

Status tab

From the Status tab you can specify status codes, which are assigned to a change as it progresses through its life cycle. Status codes are also assigned to models, from which changes are created. Tivoli Change Management requires that you have at least one status code for each change status types. See Configuring Status Codes.

Impact tab

From the Impact tab, you specify impact codes, which allow you to categorize the different types of impacts. When you add an impact to a change or model, users can select the appropriate impact code from the list you maintain. A change or model can have multiple impacts. See Configuring Impact Codes.

Risk tab

From the Risk tab, you specify risk codes, which help indicate the degree of danger or uncertainty that is involved in a change or model. When creating a change or model, users can select a risk code from the list you maintain. See Configuring Risk Codes.

Commands tab

From the Commands tab, you can specify operating system commands that are executed from within the Tivoli Change Management. Operating system commands can run before or after a task, or as an action for a business rule. See Configuring Operating System Commands.
Preferences tab From the Preferences tab, you specify the settings Tivoli Change Management uses for file names and locations, default values, and display options from the Preferences tab. See Configuring Preferences.
