Creating Requirements
There are three ways to create requirements in Requirements Portal:
-
Creating Manually
-
Use AI to Generate Requirements based on a prompt
In this section we will concentrate on how to create Requirements by manually adding the necessary information. To get more insights on the other two options please use the links to get to the corresponding documentation.
To add a new requirement manually to a specification, click the 
button at the top left and select Create Requirement from the menu that appears. A window will open where you can specify the Specification and the Section that the requirement will belong to, as well as a unique Identifier and the Requirement Text. Furthermore, you can check on possible Values + Units (Valis) that can be transformed into parameters (by enabling the Check for possible Valis option) before creating the requirement.
While you type, the ValiAssistant (if enabled) will suggest improvements to your requirement below the Requirement text field. If you accept them, you can click 
.
Valis in Requirements
Valis can be displayed in a requirement text to specify numerical values with their corresponding unit. These Valis are automatically updated in the text when the value changes. To manually add a Vali to the requirements text, type a dollar sign $ to open a drop-down to select a pre-existing Vali. After selecting a Vali, it will be displayed in the requirement’s text with as a bold blue text. If you hover over, a pop-up box will show you more information on that parameter.
It is also possible to add a new Vali which belongs to a requirement by typing a dollar sign $ and selecting 
at the top right of the popup. After that, you can define the name, formula, and unit of the new Vali similar to creating a Vali procedure. These Valis in the requirement help you to automatically compare with the system design Valis when used in the “Rules” Verification method.
