Description:

Top

The `Output...' item in the Requirements Menu is the correct method for obtaining a requirements update's linear form. The output created in this manner can also be re-imported back into the toolset by selecting the 'import' menu item from the requirements menu.

The linear form is generated using this menu item regardless of whether the Library Configuration textual storage format has been selected.

The following is an example of the text generated:

  requirement 'Warp'
    type 'Functional Requirements'
  {
    properties: {
      { property 'Creator' value { 'James T. Kirk' } };
      { property 'Creation Date' value { '13 September 1996' } };
      { property 'Modification Date' value { '16 September 1996' } };
      { property 'Modification Time' value { '2:45:36 pm' } };
      { property 'Assigned To' value { 'Uhuru' } };
      { property 'Verification Method' value { 'Test to destruction' } };
      { property 'Internal' value { true } };
      { property 'Level' value { 'Component' } };
      }
    description: {
      'textual description provided by the user'
      }
  };

This conforms completely to the BNF listed in the ObjecTime Toolset Guide.
