Create Bookmarks in a Microsoft Word Requirements Document
You can create bookmarks in your Microsoft Word requirements documents to identify
the requirements that you want to link to. When you create the links, you specify that
the RMI must link to an existing bookmark, rather than create a new bookmark.
This approach offers advantages to creating new bookmarks:
• You can give the bookmarks meaningful names that represent the content of the
requirement.
• When the RMI creates the links, it does not modify your requirements document.
Note: When you link to an existing bookmark, navigating the link highlights the entire
range of the existing bookmark. Therefore, when you create a bookmark for requirement
linking, make sure to select only the document information relevant to your requirement.
If you have a requirements document containing bookmarks, follow these steps to create
requirements links from your Simulink model to the bookmarks:
1
Open your model.
2
Open your Microsoft Word requirements document that contains bookmarks that
identify requirements.
3
Right-click a block in the model that you want to link to a requirement and select
Requirements Traceability > Open Link Editor
The Requirements Traceability Link Editor opens.
4
Click New.
5
Click Browse and navigate to the Microsoft Word requirements document that has
bookmarks.
