Document Export
While Requirements Portal reduces the need to manage documentation by housing and connecting the engineering data which typically resides in different document types belonging to different software tools, in some cases, it is still needed to generate documentation for activities such as certification and change control. To cater for this, the Document Export functionality is available as a self-contained wizard directly through the Requirements Module. This functionality allows you to quickly export requirements data into an editable *.docx file based on the selected template. You can quickly export all requirements, select specifications, or select requirements in either a single or across multiple specifications.
Accessing the Functionality
You can access the Document Export functionality from the Requirements Module by clicking the 
button at the top right and selecting the Document export option from the menu that appears.
Exporting a Report
There are several ways to perform an export using the available templates.
Selecting the Context
You can choose a particular specification or section to export using Specification and Section drop-downs in the Context (Spec/section) region of the document exporter's left-hand side pane.
You can also pre-select multiple requirements before entering the exporter, in which case only the selected requirements will be included in the selected context (all/specification/section).
Selecting a Template
There are three default templates from which you can generate automated reports, as well as upload their own. The generated files are editable Word Document files. To select an available template, use the Export templates drop-down in the Select your template region of the document exporter's left-hand side pane.
There is a number of default templates which you can manage and modify as required, and you can upload your own export templates from the 
» Settings » Export templates page.
To learn more about custom templates, refer to the Document Export Custom Templates page.
The default templates are:
-
spec_doc.docx (Document View) – this template generates and exports the requirements similar to the feature Document View (
).
-
req_verification.docx (Verification and Validation Matrix) – this template allows you to generate a doc file with a straightforward table with a specification’s requirements, their Mean of Compliance (MoC) and corresponding document or case number(s) (
).
-
spec_table.docx (Specification Export) – our original template has the most relevant requirement attributes in a clean-tabled format (
).
-
Requirement Traceability and Verification Matrix.docx – this template allows you to generate a doc file that includes information about requirement's parents, children, and design references, as well as Verification & Validation intention and status (
).
-
Requirements Verification Matrix.docx – this template allows you to generate a doc file that includes information about requirement's Verification & Validation intention and status (
).
If you select a default templates, a sample example of an output produced from it will be displayed in the right-side preview window, as shown in the image below.
Exporting and Downloading
Once you click the 
button at the bottom of the document exporter's left-hand side pane, a pop-up will appear indicating that the export is in progress followed by another pop-up when it is ready to be downloaded.
On this notification, your browser will either automatically download the file to a predefined location or ask you where to store it on your local hard drive, according to your personal browser settings.
