When
you link a domain element and requirement with a direct association, you must
synchronize the name and text fields of the domain element and requirement.
Synchronization resolves a mismatch in the name and text of requirements and
domain elements.
When you create a direct association between a requirement and a domain
element, any change in the name and text of the requirement or the domain
element causes the
RequisitePro Requirement Synchronization window
to open. You can then select the requirement version or the domain element
version to apply to the name and text of both artifacts. You can also use
a synchronization policy to indicate which version of the name and text to
apply in all cases. To access the synchronization policy, right-click the
project icon

in the
Requirement
Explorer view and click
Properties. The
following policy options are available:
- ELEMENT WINS: Overwrite the name and text of the requirement with the
name and text of the domain element.
- REQUIREMENT WINS: Overwrite the name and text of the domain element with
the name and text of the requirement.
- PROMPT: Prompt the user in each case to resolve the synchronization.
- NONE: Exempt the association from synchronization.
Note: The Element Wins setting is the only supported policy when linking requirements
to elements in the Resource domain.
