Requirements Structure Editor User Interface

Columns in the Structure Pane

Some of these columns are hidden by default. They can be displayed using Action bar > Tools > Tree List View Options.


Column	Description
Display Name	The title of the object in the requirement specification structure.

State	The current lifecycle state of the object in the requirement specification structure.
Refined Into	The number of requirements that the requirement is refined into.
Covers	The number of requirements that the requirement covers.
Parameter Value	The current value of the parameter and any minimum and maximum values defined for it. For example: `3.0 deg <= 5.1 deg <= 10.0 deg` where `3.0` is the minimum value, `5.1` is the current value, and `10.0` is the maximum value.
Owner	The owner of the object.
Modification Date	The date on which the object was last updated.

Note: This column is empty if the object has mixed effectivity, meaning that the effectivity expression includes both evolution and variability effectivity criteria. You can view the complex effectivity expression on the Effectivity tab in the object's Properties dialog box. Note: After you put a requirement specification structure under change control using a change action, you can still manually edit the Variant effectivity, but this action is not logged in the change action.

Tree List View Options

You can see customer attributes related to Requirement/ Requirement Specification, Comment and Chapter object in the Structure Editor widget. You can perform the following actions in the Attribute Management dialog box:

You can clear a check box to remove a selected column from structure editor display. However, some attributes will be always visible to the user (you cannot clear these check boxes).
Close: Closes the Attribute Management dialog box and structure list will refresh as per the preference you have entered.
Reset: Resets the dialog box to default attributes.
Remove: Removes the attribute/column from structure list and from attribute manager.
More Attributes: The Select Types tab displays the supported types. You can select any type for which you want to manage attributes. By default, Requirement, Requirement specification, Comment and Chapter will be selected.

Filter rows: Allows you to keep only selected/unselected rows or both.
You can navigate between the tabs using Next.

Authoring Mode

Toggles from Index mode to Authoring mode, or vice versa.

In Index mode, objects are retrieved from the CloudView index. In Authoring mode, objects are retrieved from the 3DSpace database.

Switching modes has several consequences:

The Filter command is only available in Index mode.
Indexed simplified geometry is only available in Index mode.
Response times are better when retrieving structures from the index in Index mode, than when retrieving it from the 3DSpace database in Authoring mode. The loading time of 3D objects is the same in either mode.

Launch Web Application: Launches the Traceable Requirements Management app in a new browser window or tab.

Subscribe: Subscribes you to all the notification events for the requirement.

Unsubscribe: Unsubscribes you from all the notification events for the requirement.

Edit Subscriptions: Allows you to select or clear the required events for subscription notifications.

You can get notifications for the following events

Released
Owner changed
Added to specification structure
Removed from specification structure
Downstream
Decomposed
Content changed
Child requirement link status changed
Revised

My Subscriptions: Displays all the user subscribed objects. You can filter objects using the subscribed type or event and remove it from subscription.
