Customizing a List of Values

Some requirement properties such as Risk, Status, and Type, come with predefined lists of values, which you can modify by creating an extended model definition.

  1. Select Model > Extended Model Definitions to open the List of Extended Model Definitions and click the Add a Row tool.
  2. Type a name and a code for the new extended model definition, click Apply, and then click the Properties tool to open it in the Resource Editor.
  3. In the left pane, expand the Settings > Custom Values > Requirement category and expand the entries to display the lists available for customization:
    • Priority

    • Risk

    • Status

    • Type

    • Verification Method

    • TraceabilityLink/Link Type (under the category)

    • UserAllocation/Type

  4. Select a list to display the currently available values in the right-hand panel.
  5. In the Value table, click the Add a Row tool, and then type a new name (which is used internally) and value (which will appear in the property list):

  6. Add additional values as necessary, and then click OK to save your changes and return to the List of Extended Model Definitions.
  7. Click OK to return to your model. The new values are now available in the appropriate property list.
    Note: If you have several extended model definitions defining list values attached to your RQM, the union of all the different values defined for each property will be available.
