Lesson 1.1: Open the requirement perspective and views
This lesson describes how to open the Requirement perspective and
views in the IBM® Software Delivery Platform product.
A perspective defines an initial set and layout of views in the Workbench
window. The Requirement perspective includes a set of views that supports
access to Rational® RequisitePro® requirements,
documents, query results, properties, and traceability.
Open the Requirement perspective. There are 2 ways to do this:
Use the Window menu to select Open Perspective > Requirement. If the Welcome screen is maximized you will have to use this
procedure.
Use the Open Perspective control to select Other... > Requirement.
If you are in one of the other perspectives you can use this procedure.
Note the Requirement button next to the Open Perspective control.
Take a tour of the views in this perspective. Close unneeded views
such as Welcome, and expand views to make the individual tabs readable. The Requirement perspective includes the following views:
Requirement Explorer
Requirement Link Problems
Requirement Query Results
Properties
Link Clipboard
Requirement Trace
Requirement Text
Requirement Editor (not visible until needed)
You should see all of these views except the Requirement
Editor view, which only appears when needed.
A separate control allows you to examine other linkable domains.
Click Window > Show View > Other. Expand the Linkability folder
and click Linkable Domain Explorer.
