Based on permissions, I should be able to view activity logs of others (Idea is permission list will be there for each user on which other users data he can modify/view based on login name we can do this access list) 16. It should be possible to define the path where the data files are stored (in ClearCase or server). 17. It should be possible to view data from multiple locations/paths (Say multiple projects). In other words multiple project configuration should be possible (That means multiple project paths which can be on different directory locations should be supported) 18. It should also display the author name some where and should display the activity in a different color, in case the task is added by some one else (say Project lead assigned activity)

However, for the purpose of providing facility for other users to set reminders for another user we might have to have these kind of reminders in ClearCase files 31. Reminders can contain text and links 32. Reminder can have options to launch a link/program at specified time (like scheduler) Low Prio 33.
