Lifecycle Section

The primary area of the Lifecycle section provides commands for managing the object lifecycle.

Any command in the Lifecycle section, once launched, does not synchronize with what happens in the 3D widget. For example, if you clean the view in the 3D widget with Maturity/Revision or any other dialog box from the Lifecycle section, the dialog box is not updated. After clearing the view, if you perform the respective actions in the dialog box, those actions will be successful.

Home
Returns to the home page.
Maturity
Modifies the maturity state of the selected objects.

In the dialog box, select the target state from the maturity graph if you selected one object, or from the list if you selected several objects. Then, click Ok.

For more information, see Changing Maturity.

Note: You can also run the Change Maturity command from the Maturity Statue column in the Tree view.


New Revision

Creates a revision of the selected objects.

If you select one object, you can enter a comment for the revision. You can automatically add revised root objects in Requirements Structure Editor.

For more information, see Creating a Revision.


New Branch
Creates a branch from the selected objects.

Select one or more objects, click the command, and then click Branch.

If you select one object, you can enter a title for the branch. If you select several objects, you can enter a prefix for the new branches in the Add Prefix box.

For more information, see Creating a Branch.

New Revision From
Creates a revision of the selected structure using the content of another structure.

Select the root of the structure you want to revise, and click the command.

In the dialog box, select the source structure, which can be a revision, a duplicate or a branch.

Choose the appropriate option for each child node, and click Revise.

For more information, see Creating a Revision from an Existing Object.

Permanently deletes the selected objects.

Select one or more objects and click the command.

An object will not be deleted if it is used in another structure. You must first detach the object from the another structure.

For more information, see Deleting Objects.
