Removing or Deleting Sub Requirements

You can either remove or delete sub requirements from a parent requirement if you no longer need them. You remove sub requirements to remove the link between them and the parent requirement, but they remain in the database. You delete sub requirements to delete them completely from the database.

Required responsibilities:

  • Baseline: Leader (when the object is in the Frozen state) or Author

Before you begin: View the list of requirements. See Requirements Page.
