I am quite new to DOORS in a company that is fairly new to the tool. I hope this is not too obvious of a question. I am not able to see any way to promote and demote headings. For example I may be creating a document (I'm actually importing then modifying) I may have a heading that I want to promote.
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Requirements
2 General Technology Requirements
I would like to change this to
1 Introduction
2 Product Requirements
3 General Technology Requirements
Of course there are many subordinate objects to each of these heading objects. From experience with Microsoft Excel I think that I ought to be able to do this easily. I hope this is the case and that I'm overlooking the obvious. Please let me know and thanks in advance for any help provided.

I am also extremely new at this tool. What I finally did was to select everything from (in your case) 1.1 up until the last item before level 2. (Click on 1.1 Product Requirements, scroll down, use Shift+click on the last item).
I then cut the items, clicked on 1 Introduction, then Right click > paste > paste. It placed everything in the correct place. Hope this helps. |

Another option for you both is to drag and drop. Click on the header (1.1 Product Requirements) and drag it to item 1. then when the dialog comes up with the options to move, copy, etc, select move>> after. This will promote the item to level 1. repeat as needed to properly develop your hierarchy.

If you have many items to demote, there is a Kitchen script that will do it, I believe.

MS-Word allows you to promote-demote headings, either by changing the Style or using the alt-shft arrow keys (IIRC). DOORS is nothing like that.
Heading levels and therefore numbers are determined by the relative position of an object with Object Heading vis-a-vis other headings. You change a level of an object (and all its children) the same way you move the object (you can cut-paste or click and drag). You "move" this structure relative to some other heading object: "move Below" if its to be the first section lower-down than the target heading; "move After" if some other section is to come before. So you want the current section 4.1 to move such that its new number is 3.2.2? Turn off filtering and sorting. I'd set the display "level" to 3 or use outline mode. You can select the entire section but if you move the 4.1 object all its children will also move. Click and drag object 4.1, drop it on object 3.2.1, and select "move after". if 3.2.2 already existed it becomes 3.2.3. To make it 3.2.1 then drop it on object 3.2 and select "move below". Even after all these years, restructuring for me is difficult. Be sure to display the "Object Number" (paragraph number) and the "Object level" in columns before trying anything like that. - Louie |

During our training session, the trainer supplied us with "Kitchen" scripts that offers a lot of functionality. Promoting and Demoting objects are just a couple of helpful scripts.
Check with your trainer or your company contact to see how to acquire these scripts. |

Search the DXL Forum, someone had posted the zip file of the Kitchen scripts where you find the demote/promote scripts
