Copying a Requirement

You can copy an existing requirement to use it as the foundation for a new requirement. The copy becomes the new requirement, which you can view and edit as needed. You can copy a requirement from either the Requirements page or a requirement Properties page.

Before you begin:

View the list of requirements. See Listing Requirements.

  1. Check the select box of the requirement you want to copy, and then click Copy from the page Actions toolbar.



  2. The following fields are required:

    Name. Type a new name, or check Autoname to have the system assign a name.

    Revision. Type a new revision name, number, or code.

  3. Add a Title, if needed.

  4. Add a Description, if needed.

  5. For Sub Requirement, select if you want to Copy or Reference them along with the requirement. None ignores all sub requirements in the copy.

  6. For Derived Requirement, select if you want to Copy or Reference them along with the requirement. None ignores all derived requirements in the copy.

  7. Click Done.

    A popup confirms the copy.

  8. Click OK.
