I just created a word doc and also a csv file and tried to import them. The import is fine but the object hierarchy is all messed up. It comes FLAT. Now, I went through this forum and noticed that that is the intended behaviour. To restore the heirarchy we have to run some dxl code.

a) Does anyone have the DXL code?

b) Does anyone have a big export file - with several thousand (or atleast 100s) requirements so that I can do some performance testing?

Thanks

Babu

When you push from MS-Word to DOORS ("importing a word document"), DOORS does NOT look for "Heading" styles to determine what's a heading and what's a text; DOORS only looks at the paragraph properties 'Outline Level'. Thus, what you see in the MS-Word Document Map (View Menu >>Document Map toggles an additional left pane on and off) is what's a DOORS Object Heading; other stuff is DOORS Object Text.

Yes, 'Heading' styles are in the Document Map but so are also other objects. Be sure to get the Document Map right BEFORE pushing to DOORS.

As for CSV: You'll need to have separate CSV columns for [1] Desired Level [2] Object Heading [3] Object Text. Once in DOORS you'll run your DXL looking at Desired Level and moving object's about as appropriate. That's a little bit tricky. I stringly suggest a preamble DXL as follows:
create (object type "String" attribute "SortOrder") // create string attribute.
Count = 0
for obj in entire mod do
{ Count++
obj."SortOrder" = Count ""
}

This will insure you remember the original order in which Objects were first imported, which comes in very useful when debugging your DXL: when finished, the SortOrder should remain unchanged.

Or you could just forget the moving DXL and move stuff around manually, being sure to display SortOrder and Object Level first.
