Workarea Administration

The Settings page lets workarea administrators configure how items, documents, workflows, and traceability work within a workarea. Only users with the Admin role can access settings.

Settings Sidebar

Settings are organized into groups in the sidebar:

GroupTabs
GeneralProject, Members
Types & SchemaWork Item Types, Document Types, Link Types, Enumerations, Icon Library
WorkflowWorkflow Definitions, Workflow Assignments
VerificationIteration Types, Verification Configuration
VariantsVariant designations
QualitySuspect Links, Integrity
OperationsLogs

Site administrators additionally see the Site group, which links to Site Administration.

Project Settings

The Project tab shows basic workarea information:

  • Workarea ID — Read-only identifier set at creation
  • Workarea Name — Editable display name
  • Group — The group this workarea belongs to (read-only)
  • Description — Optional description of the workarea

Configuration Inheritance

ROPARC uses a three-level configuration hierarchy:

  1. Global configuration — System-wide defaults (managed by super-admins)
  2. Group configuration — Defaults for all workareas in a group
  3. Workarea configuration — Specific settings that can inherit or override parent levels

This means your workarea may have item types, link types, and enumerations inherited from its group or global configuration — they appear with an Inherited badge in the settings tabs. See Configuration Inheritance for the full model with examples, and the individual topics below for each configuration area.
