STARTER PACK-CLARITY PPM Clarity PPM SaaS

Is it possible to change the portfolio item types to something other than "initiative" and "feature", such as "User Story" directly in Clarity PPM?

Release : All Supported Releases

Component : CA PPM SAAS RALLY

Portfolio item types should be mapped to the two lowest Portfolio Item Types set in Rally in order for the sync to work correctly.
To update or check to see what should be the correct values for the Integration fields of Portfolio Item Type Map (Project) and Portfolio Item Type Map (Task):

1. Log in to Rally as an Administrator

2. Click on the Tools icon on the right hand side

3. Click on Workspaces & Project

4. Click on the Workspace (On this page is where you can get the Workspace ID to populate in Clarity if needed - the ID at the end of the URL)

5. Go to Fields and filter on Type: Portfolio Item

6. Click on Edit for Portfolio Item Type

7. A window appears with the list of Portfolio Item Types, the two bottom levels are the ones that should be mapped to Clarity

Example, if Capability and Feature are listed, then:

8. Add these values to the Integration by using the below steps and Save Changes

In Clarity, go to Administration->General Settings->Integrations
Click on the Integration
Click on the Integration Policy tab and populate the values collected in step 7 in the respective fields. Using the example above:

Portfolio Item Type Map (Project) = Capability

Portfolio Item Type Map (Task) = Feature

Tip: You can also double check the Portfolio Items in Agile by going to Portfolio->Portfolio Items and clicking on the Portfolio Items drop down.
