24. ECP State and Transition Pictures Submitting an ECP is similar to submitting a standard CR, however a process picture exists on every state showing exactly where you are and what has been completed. In ECP 1.1 you can optionally see exactly where you are in the process as you can use the inbuilt mechanism to show a simple automatically generated HTML Table. You therefore no longer need a static picture for each state and transition dialog, so modifications to your lifecycle become easier for the process engineers.... With ECP 1.1 you can toggle either view described above on or off. In Analysis Dialog Picture (ECP 1.0):
25. Page and Section Navigation Buttons When using a State Dialog, often each type of user (Developer, Tester, Manager) would like to quickly and efficiently jump to the required section that has been setup in the dialog. Note: The sections for capturing the output at each stage are mandatory: the colour coded sections on transitions which contain mandatory information are NOT collapsible, therefore they can never be accidentally missed. Sections are optionally colour-coded. Sections may be combined with the standard section collapse
26. Default Transition Dialogs With Telelogic Change 4.7 it is now possible to setup Default Transition Dialog options that appear at the front of the Transition list. This allows users to quickly choose the most common lifecycle path.

30. Progress Bar Indicators Once the Estimated Total Hours in this example has been filled in, the Progress bar shows the following: Then as you start to populate the Total Hours used attribute, the progress bar auto- updates as appropriate. The Overused Progress bar has been displayed below, if your Actual Hours used exceeds the Estimated Total hours then the progress bar continues over to the next line and the colour changes to Red.
39. Parent / Child Quick Navigation (ECP 1.0) When having a complex web of Related CRs and Child / Parent relationships a quick navigation option is needed to allow users to quickly find and navigate to the require information. In ECP 1.0 -- Change 4.7 An extra drop down box was used on the menu-bar to facilitate quick navigation between the various levels of Parents and Child CRs NOTE: The list was very limited, So this has now been removed in ECP 1.1 in favour of “Browse Queries”

42. Enhanced Email Subscription Dialog The Existing Telelogic Change Email Subscription dialog currently only allows Administrators to Remove users from the Subscription of a CR. With the ECP Package, this dialog has been further enhanced to allow it to be privilege-controlled rather than Admin-controlled, and it also allows you to Add and Remove users from the subscription dialog box.

44. ECP Notifications Using the ECP Notifications After setting up the ECP Notifications templates emails can be configured and they do not require any further edits in the Lifecycle Editor. An example of a HTML Template email is listed below:
45. Telelogic Synergy Baseline List-boxes The baseline list box generation script was written so that you can easily and quickly see a baseline to select when editing a CR in Telelogic Change. The script generates a file for each attribute that you define on a CR. After the tool populates the baseline Listbox attribute, it can be selected when editing or creating a CR in Telelogic Change. The script is configured in a crontab on Unix, so it can update the list-box entries once a day or as often as you would like to schedule. Currently no Windows option is available. An example of how you can pick the Baseline after they have been populated is shown below:
46. How to Install ECP Packages Installation of the ECP Packages is very similar to installing Patches or Service packs. You can simple unpack the packages in your Telelogic Change packages directory and click on the install button for each package you wish to install. Note: With some of the packages (especially email), some other configuration files need to be updated as well.
