You can associate a record with a Rational ClearQuest requirement. Use this option when the RequisitePro® project is not available, for example, if the Rational RequisitePro client for Windows is not installed or if you are working in a MultiSite environment in a replica that does not have access to RequisitePro.
This option is also useful if your team approves requirements in RequisitePro, creates requirements in ClearQuest from RequisitePro requirements, and associates records such as test cases with the approved requirements.
