Setting hyperlink project options

Hyperlink options provide the Helix ALM Web URL so users can open links to items with Helix ALM Web and control access to RSS feeds.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Project Options.

The Project Options dialog box opens.

2. Select the Hyperlinks category.

3. Enter the Helix ALM Web URL. The URL must be entered before users can open links with Helix ALM Web or access data.

The URL consists of the web server static or IP address and the directory where the Helix ALM Web files are stored on the web server. For example, http://server.wysicorp.com/ttweb/index.html#Default. If Helix ALM Web is configured to access multiple servers in the Helix ALM Registry Utility, make sure you include the correct server name at the end of the URL instead of Default. Click Validate to make sure the URL is correct.

Do not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the web server address. These values refer to the local computer and other users will not be able to access Helix ALM Web correctly if you use them.

4. Select Enable RSS feeds to allow filters to be published for RSS feeds. See Creating RSS feeds.

Enter the Helix ALM Published Data CGI URL.

The CGI generates the URL used to subscribe to RSS feeds. The URL consists of the web server static or IP address and the path to the Helix ALM Published Data CGI (ttpubdata.exe), which is installed in the web server’s default CGI directory by default. Click Validate to validate the URL.

5. Click OK to save the changes.
