Artifact Explorer - How do I...

show more information, like attribute values, on each artifact?

Review - How do I...

show all review defects in readable format

The Defect table of a Peer Review only shows 5 lines by default which makes reading the defects difficult. In addition, the Description and Location columns are too narrow to see all the text. There are a few things you can do to help view this data easier.

  1. Make any column wider. Select the line between columns in header > drag the columns out to make it wider
  2. Make the table larger. Select the gray line under the table and drag down to show more rows.
