This page is aimed to Siemens Polarion users to let them know which elements can be dragged/copied and dropped/pasted into the ${local-app-connector} linking wizard.

In Polarion, only two work item categories can be linked to ${local-app}:

• Requirements (System and Software)
• Change Requests (Work Packages, Tasks, Change Requests and Issues)

Wherever these work items are represented with links (or images/texts being able to open the work item page), they can be dragged and dropped into the linking wizard, some common cases/places are:

• The Activities panel in the Home page.
• The Work Item Properties panel in requirements document view.
• The work item page.

On a work item open page, users can drag and drop the Title link or copy the full URL in the browser's addresses bar. They can also press over the copy icon next to the title (visible only when hovering it) and press the Copy Link option to open the Copy To Clipboard dialog, then press Ctrl + C to copy the URL of the link. Still in the work item page, users can drag and drop any other Polarion linked work item, either those below the host work item or those in the Linked Work Items section.

From a requirements document view, users can drag and drop all work items included in the Work Item Properties panel. They can also click on a requirement icon (on document's left) and expand the option Copy to either select the Link or Cross-reference option. Both will open the Copy To Clipboard dialog mentioned above and users can proceed the same way they did last time with this dialog.

Global Configurations Compatibility

There is no difference between using a Global Configuration on ${local-app} or not, the same elements discussed above are suitable to be drag-and-dropped or copy-and-pasted in the linking wizard. This is because Polarion does not support Configuration Management.
