Adding Helix ALM item number restrictions

Restrictions are criteria that files must meet to be included in reports, filter results, and advanced find results. You set restrictions when you add reports, add filters, or perform an advanced find.

Helix ALM item number restrictions limit results to files attached to issues, requirements, and test cases in a specific project that are equal to, less than, or greater than a specified number or in a range or list of numbers. For example, you can create a restriction to find all files attached to issues numbered 100-200 in a project.
