RQM Properties

You open the model property sheet by right-clicking the model in the Browser and selecting Properties.

Each requirements model has the following model properties:

Property

Description

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the model. The name should clearly convey the model's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the model. By default the code is auto-generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

Filename

Specifies the location of the model file. This box is empty if the model has never been saved.

Author

Specifies the author of the model. If you enter nothing, the Author field in diagram title boxes displays the user name from the model property sheet Version Info tab. If you enter a space, the Author field displays nothing.

Version

Specifies the version of the model. You can use this box to display the repository version or a user defined version of the model. This parameter is defined in the display preferences of the Title node.

Default view

Specifies the view displayed by default when you open the model.

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

The following tabs are also available:
  • Detail - Provides fields to record workloads assigned to four individuals or groups. Model workloads are read-only fields calculated as the sums of all requirement workloads.
  • Requirement Traceability Links - Lists links to design objects and external files.
