Specification Checkout

Use this procedure to locate and check out a specification file that you selected to check in with the imported captures. The file will open in MS Word with all of the capture data present. You can use the Requirement Capture toolbar to import additional captures and, once again, check in this file as a new version of the specification. The version number is incremented each time you check out and then check in a specification.

You need to open the file on the machine that generated the captures. If you open the file from another machine, the Requirement Capture toolbar may not be available in MS Word.

Before you begin:

Requirement Capture must be installed. For instructions, see Installing ENOVIA Requirement for Word.
