System Subtypes Customization provides users with up to two new custom System Subtypes to make it easier to track System impacts. The custom System Subtypes appear under the Systems tab of Enterprise, Project, and Independent Releases.
There are also two default System Subtypes, which also appear under the Systems tab:
- Impacted Systems: Enterprise, Project, and Independent Releases.
- Regression System: Project, and Independent Releases only.
