Requirements Traceability Links
When you want to navigate from a Simulink model or from a region of MATLAB code to a
location inside a requirements document, you can add requirements traceability links to
the model or code.
Requirements traceability links have the following attributes:
• A description of up to 255 characters.
• A requirements document path name, such as a Microsoft Word file or a module in
an IBM Rational DOORS database. (The RMI supports several built-in document
formats. You can also register custom types of requirements documents. See
“Supported Requirements Document Types” on page 2-6.)
• A designated location inside the requirements document, such as:
• Bookmark
• Anchor
• ID
• Page number
• Line number
• Cell range
• Link target
• Tags that you define
