Use text in a document to create a new requirement that
contains that text. The document text becomes a link to the new requirement.
You can also embed the name and text of the new requirement in the
document. Embedded requirement content is updated in the document
as the requirement is modified and saved.
About this task
- Do not use any of the following characters when
creating or renaming an artifact:
\ / | : * ? " < > &
- When you select text and mark it as a requirement, the highlighted
text is used by default in the link to the new requirement and in
its name. You can modify either of those values in the Mark As Requirement
window. Links simply
serve as an identifier and a point for navigating to the requirement.
- When you embed a requirement in a document, the actual requirement
name and textual content is displayed in the document. You cannot
modify embedded content in the document. Navigate to the requirement
to modify its content.
