Modules can be used to capture
requirements.
At the business level for example,
modules can be used to capture the
users perspective and stakeholder
needs. This information can further
be supported and elaborated by
business process diagram
Vision documents and usecase
specifications can be represented by
modules
System and software specifications
can also be captured in modules.
The modules support the project
lifecycle and the teams efforts, by:
- individually managing artifacts
(links, attributes, comments)
- allowing for in place editing of
artifacts
- showing linked information in
columns, supporting efforts to
manage scope creep or dropped
requirements

Dropped?
Scope
creep?
Example: Multi-Level tracing
You can use a view that displays link
information in columns to identify
scope creep or dropped requirements.
Such views are possible at the project
level or at the module level.
If you are working with modules,
remember that tags, links, and
comments are scoped to the module.
Therefore , you must create views at
the module level.
Remember that when you create a
view, you can save it for all of the
modules so that you can provide a
consistent perspective for analyzing
information.

Editing the module’s attributes
Included links, tags,
and comments from
base artifacts
Module attributes can be edited form the
project level, or from within the open module.
Once you open the module, you will
notice an edit button on the top right
hand corner.
By clicking on the edit button, you
can edit the module attributes.
The content of the module is
modified by adding new or existing
artifacts
Included links, tags, and comments
from base artifact does not make
much sense for a module since it can
not be included in other modules.
However, the same button become
very significant when working with
artifacts opened from within the
module.
The content of the module is not
effected when pressing the edit
button.

It is important to realize that both the
module and the contained artifacts
have links, comments, attributes.
Artifacts contained in the module can
be modified in several ways, most of
which are accessible from the
artifacts edit options.
It is also important to note that there
are several ways to add new artifacts
to the module, or remove artifacts that
are already part of it.

Used in Module attribute
Every artifact is aware in which
modules it is being used. This
information is collected in the Used
in Module attribute.
Displaying the Used in Module
attribute in a column will place a
“recycling” icon for each artifact that
is used in multiple modules.
Here we see an artifact that is used in
three modules.

The way artifacts are created in a
module, is similar to the way they
are created at the project level.

will allow you create an artifact
and add it to the module. The
artifact will be added at the end of
the module. The artifact will be
detailed in the Create an artifact

Creating an artifact using the one-click create method
Create artifacts quickly with the one-click
create method.
Then define the artifact in the artifacts
display table.
2. The one-click create method is
most useful to create artifacts of the
same type quickly. With the one-click
create method, you can create several
artifacts rapidly and with a minimal
number of keystrokes and mouse
movements.
To edit the added artifacts, it is useful
to display needed attributes in
column, thus allowing you to edit the
artifacts directly in the Artifacts table.
You can use a saved view to get the
correct columns to display.

Artifact hierarchy
Structure as a “Family”:
parent Artifact A has hierarchical children artifacts B and C.
child Artifacts D and E have B as their hierarchical parent.
siblings Artifacts B and C share a hierarchical parent artifact A.
ancestors Artifacts G has F, C, and A as hierarchical ancestors.
descendants Artifacts C has F, G, and H as hierarchical descendants.
Artifacts within a modules are
organized hierarchically. Artifacts are
organized into structured hierarchical
relationships. Artifact hierarchical
relationships can be structured as a
family or as a tree.
In the requirements management
application, all artifacts within a
module have a property Section
which reveals their hierarchy within
the module

Some benefits of the hierarchy
include:
1.Organized sections that are
collapsible and expandable. This
helps with categorizing your
requirements and find them quickly.
2.Easily move sections around with
confidence that all content of the
section are included

Creating a section
Sections are the first step to
organizing your module.
When you toggle “Display as
Heading”, the artifact forms a section
at the level that it is. Subsequent
sections are automatically
renumbered.
Sections can contain subsections and
other artifacts.

Demoting artifacts (1/2)
Artifacts are at same level
Artifacts to demote
Demoting an artifact will make it the
hierarchical child of the section above
it.
If there is no section above it, then it
will make it the child of the artifact
above it.
If the artifact has children, then the
children will move with it.
You can demote one or more artifacts
at the same time.

Moving artifacts – (1/5)
Artifacts and their sections can be
moved to a different location in the
module.
In this case, we want to move
Heading B (and all its hierarchical
children), and make it the new section
1.1, making Heading C, section 1.2.
To do this we do the following….

When an artifact is cut, it is still part
of the module. One can navigate out
of the module and the cut artifact will
still be remembered.
•A cut can be canceled from the edit
options of the artifact.
•Cutting another artifact within the
module will undo the first cut.
•You cannot cut an paste across

module specific links, tags, coments.
