PM48954: DOCS: DOORS display scheme

Rational DOORS Fix Pack 6 (9.3.0.6) for 9.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DOORS Info Center for this section
  Configuring ? Configuring the Rational DOORS display? Setting
  your display scheme
  states 'You can use the default display scheme for the database,
  which is set by the database manager, or a different display
  scheme.'
  
  This statement can mislead one to think that the 'database
  manager' is able to define and a new database-wide default
  display scheme under the DOORS Database Properties ? General ?
  Default display scheme.
  
  However, you can only use the 4 display schemes listed there:
  Modern
  Classic
  International Modern
  International Classic
  
  You can not use a custom scheme a 'database manager' has defined
  in their own Tools ? Options ? Display menu.
  
  It seems that it should be explicitly stated that the only other
  'different display scheme' that can be used are customized per
  user in their own Tools ? Options ? Display menu and not a
  database wide setting.
