Integration attribute aliases for projects
When Focal Point and the Change and Configuration Management application are integrated, you can handle the same project information from a portfolio and a project perspective. As part of the integration setup, you must specify the integration attribute aliases from Focal Point that are recognized by both products.
Attributes for exporting project
The attribute names can differ in the products. However, to share and update the content of the integration attributes, all integration attributes must use the specified aliases.
