In order for the changes to be seen by the rest of the team, the work item with which they are associated must be approved. In this demonstration scenario Pete, the project manager, will be the only person to approve the work item. In a real-world situation, multiple approvers of various roles may be defined as approvers.

For this stage, it is recommended that you log in to RTC using Internet Explorer.

RTC can be used with a number of browsers. The integration is supported only with Internet Explorer and Firefox, and to make it run on Firefox you need to use the IETab2 plug-in to emulate Internet Explorer. This is because the Rational DOORS Web Access Change Details view needs ActiveX and the Change Details window cannot be rendered fully in Firefox without the plug-in.
