Chapter 2 Requirements model basics


Traceability links page

To help understanding a requirements package or model, you can create links with design objects (objects from other types of models) and external files (MS Word, MS Excel, PowerDesigner...).

Use the following tools to create links with the current package or model:

Tool Tooltip Description

Add Links to Design Objects Creates shortcuts to attach design objects to the requirements package or model. Design objects are selected from design models open in the workspace

Add Link to External File Creates a link between an external file (whatever the format) and the requirements package or model. The external file is stored in a Files folder within the model

The standard Traceability Links page displays the following properties:

Property Description
Linked Object Design objects or external files linked to the requirements package or model
Bookmark Bookmark for the MS Word file linked with the requirements package or model. Click a cell, then the Ellipsis button (...) to create or modify a bookmark.

See Defining a bookmark for an MS Word file, in Defining requirements properties, in chapter Building a requirements model

You can modify the properties displayed in the Traceability Links page by clicking the Customize Columns and Filter tool.
