  1. From the page Actions menu or page toolbar, click Edit Details.



  2. Make modifications, as necessary. The following can be changed:

    Name. Update the name of the product line.

    Description. You can add details to the description or replace the existing description.

    Owner. Click to assign a different owner.

    Marketing Name. Update the marketing name of the product line. Special characters are prohibited (see Name, above).

    Marketing Text. Update the marketing text of the product line.

    Change Board. Click to update the change board responsible for reviewing this change.

    Design Responsibility. Click to assign the design responsibility for the product line to a different organization or project.

    Click Clear if you want to remove the design responsibility. Once design responsibility is removed, the product line becomes accessible by all Product Managers and System Engineers of the company. This change takes effect only after you click Done. If responsibility is assigned to a group to which you do not belong, you will no longer have access to the data.

    Note: The design responsibility must be assigned before the product reaches the Released state. Once a product has been assigned a design responsibility, all new revisions will carry the same. Once the Design Responsibility has been set, the Clear icon is no longer available. Hence, it will no longer be possible to change this property once it has been set.

  3. Click Done.
