You can create connections to custom review processes,
such as Bugzilla. Prior to creating a connection, the repository administrator
must have configured the server to use a custom review process.
Before you begin
You must be a repository administrator or a community administrator
to add a new connection.
About this task
Users of the repository will use these connections to
map an asset or a discussion forum topic to the external change management
system so that it is tracked.
