About assigning UCM activities in a project enabled for Rational ClearQuest

The concept of assigning an activity applies only to records whose record types are enabled for UCM. In general, assigning an activity means making a person responsible for some portion of the development of an activity. An activity assignment may change several times during a development cycle. For example, a project manager may take initial responsibility for an activity. When the project manager sets the schedule for a given project, they assign the activity to a developer on the project. After you begin work on an activity, the activity assignment usually does not change.

Rational® ClearQuest® user database records include fields to keep track of the current owner of an activity. Your organization may restrict who can change the value in the owner field.
