Requirements Traceability Link Editor
2-15
Requirements Tab
On the Requirements tab, you specify detailed information about the link, including:
• Description of the requirement (up to 255 words). If you create a link using the
document index, unless a description already exists, the name of the index location
becomes the description for the link .
• Path name to the requirements document.
• Document type (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, IBM Rational DOORS, MuPAD,
HTML, text file, etc.).
• Location of the requirement (search text, named location, or page or item number).
• User-specified tag or keyword.
Document Index Tab
The Document Index tab is available only if you have specified a file in the Document
field on the Requirements tab that supports indexing. On the Document Index tab,
the RMI generates a list of locations in the specified requirements document for the
following types of requirements documents:
• Microsoft Word
• IBM Rational DOORS
• HTML files
• MuPAD
Note: The RMI cannot create document indexes for PDF files.
From the document index, select the desired requirement from the document index and
click OK. Unless a description already exists, the name of the index location becomes the
description for the link.
If you make any changes to your requirements document, to load any newly created
locations into the document index, you must click Refresh. During a MATLAB session,
the RMI does not reload the document index unless you click the Refresh button.
