You can create an empty module, use a template, which inserts
a structure and headings into the new module, or use a module archive.
Before you begin
You must have create access to the folder or project where
you want to create the module.
About this task
Rational® DOORS® provides a library of templates
to help get you up and running quickly. For example, there are DoD-STD
and MIL-STD templates. Templates help you to keep your modules consistent
by encouraging people to use a standard structure and headings. You
can insert a template when you create the module, or you can insert
one later by selecting in the module window.
Procedure
- In the database explorer, select the folder or project
where you want to create the module.
- Click File > New > Formal Module.
- Type a name for the module.
- Optional: Type a description for the module.
- Optional: Type a prefix and a number for object
identifiers to start from. If you do not enter a number,
object identifiers start at 1 and are not prefixed.
- Optional: Select a template.
- Optional: Select a module archive. The
default location is set in Database Properties.
- Click OK.
What to do next
You can create your own templates and add them to the library,
which is in the Rational DOORS home directory, in
