You can associate existing requirements and model elements using direct or indirect associations. Use menu items or simply drag one artifact to another.
Creating direct associations between requirements and model elements
You can create a direct association between an existing requirement and an existing model element. This directly links the requirement and the model element and synchronizes both artifacts so you can manage them as a single, conceptual item.Creating indirect associations between requirements and model elements
You can create an indirect association by linking model elements and requirements through proxy requirements and traceability.Viewing and repairing requirement link problems
Use the Requirement Link Problems view to review and resolve link problems between requirements and model elements. Link problems occur when associated artifacts are moved, deleted, or are otherwise unavailable.Removing requirement associations
You can remove a direct association between a requirement and an element. This action does not remove the element, the requirement, or any traceability relationships with the requirement.
