Requirements Document Views

A requirements document view displays a list of written requirements in a hierarchic grid. Multiple views can be created with different filters to display various subsets of requirements.



A requirements model can have as many requirements document views as necessary. You can filter the requirements displayed in views (see Customizing Columns and Filtering Rows) or separate your hierarchy of requirements into packages (see Packages (RQM)), which can have their own views.

The following tools are available on the requirements view toolbar:
