Analyzing links using the traceability explorer

Use the traceability explorer to see which objects in your current module have links, and to navigate to the linked objects.

About this task

By default, the traceability explorer shows objects that have in-links from modules that are open. To change the default, use the options on the View menu in the Traceability Explorer window.

Procedure

  1. In the module window, click Analysis > Traceability Explorer. You see a flat list of all the objects in your current view. If an object has a link, it has a plus sign (+) to the left.
  2. Click the plus sign to show the direction of the links. The status bar at the bottom of the screen displays the name of the module that contains the selected link.
  3. To display the object, right-click Show Object. If the object is in a module that is not currently open, the module is opened read-only with the linked object selected.
