Using Integrated OnTime Defect Tracking

Vault Professional supports a subset of features available in the OnTime Client. For full OnTime defect tracking documentation, see OnTime documentation:

OnTime has multiple work item types. Vault Professional integrates only within Defects.

OnTime integration with Vault Professional refers to the ability to update defects from within the Vault Professional client, and for OnTime item tracking system to link to the changes in source code which fixed the defect.
