Note

Before setting up your first set of Requirements, we do suggest that planning is conducted on:

  • How you intend to Title your Requirements to ensure Titles are unique. This helps prevent confusion when looking at a list of Requirements and assigning them to people.

  • How you intend to construct Reference Requirements with a Unique Reference which is also required to be unique. The Reference is used specifically when using the Export/Import functionality.

  • If you intend to use the Customer Reference field, (not required to be unique), to link them to current references.

A standardized method for both of them can help prevent confusion and mistakes in the future
