Discussions

Discussions allow reviewers to exchange views about the content of a module or the content of an object in a module.

Instead of setting up linked review documents, or adding new text attributes to the module under review, Rational® DOORS® allows you to maintain running discussions about objects and modules. The discussions are presented to you as part of the properties of the object or module.

Discussions are listed on the Discussions tab of the module or object properties sheet, and can be accessed using the Discussions menu in the module window.

You need to be using a Rational DOORS 9.2 or later database server, and the server must be configured to exclude Rational DOORS 9.0 and 9.1 clients to make the discussions function fully available.

Note: You can maintain running discussions in baselines. However, if you archive and restore a module, discussions about the module or objects in the module are not restored.

You can create and add comments to discussions for objects in a module baseline and for the module baseline itself. However, if there is a discussion that was created in a baseline, and you add a comment in a more recent version of the baseline or in the current version of the module, you cannot add comments to the baseline where the discussion was created.
