REST API terms
ID | Description |
|---|---|
Project ID | Project IDs are unique to Jama Connect. Your administrator sets the default project and set keys. Example: <project key> - <set key> # <SBX-REQ-1 or SBX-TEST-3> |
Global ID | Global IDs reference where a requirement or test was reused globally across Jama Connect projects. The Global ID isn’t unique because several copies of an item might be connected that share the same Global ID. Example: GID-1234 |
