Glossary Terms (RQM - Deprecated)

Glossary terms are clearly defined words used to avoid misinterpretations in a requirements model. Use the Description sub-tab on the Notes tab of a glossary term property sheet, to give a full and precise description of a glossary term.

Warning! The RQM glossary terms are deprecated and are replaced by the enterprise glossary model (see Core Features Guide > Administering PowerDesigner > Deploying an Enterprise Glossary and Library).

Glossary terms are attached to requirements via the Related Glossary Terms tab of the requirements property sheet. The Dependencies tab of a glossary term property sheet displays the requirements associated with the glossary term.

Creating a Glossary Term
You can create a glossary term from the Browser or Model menu, or from the Related Glossary Terms tab in the property sheet of a requirement.
Glossary Term Property Sheet General Tab
To view or edit a glossary term's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.
