Use Requirements PowerSheet

​

Open the Requirements PowerSheet

1. Navigate to Requirements space from the sidebar
2. Locate your requirements document (e.g., “System Requirements Specification”)
3. Click the PowerSheet icon in the document toolbar (grid icon next to the edit button)
4. Select the appropriate view:
   • Whole RTM Sheet — Full V-model decomposition (Customer → System → Subsystem → Design)
   • Component RTM — Subsystem-to-design requirements focused view
   • System Verification — System requirements with linked verification test cases

​

Navigate the Four-Level Hierarchy

​

Edit Requirements Inline

1. Click any editable field (purple, teal, or blue background)
2. Type directly in the cell — changes save automatically
3. Use Enter for multi-line descriptions
4. Press Tab to move to the next editable field

​

Create Child Requirements

1. Right-click the parent requirement row
2. Select Add Child → System Requirement (or Subsystem/Design depending on level)
3. Fill in the ID and title in the newly created row
4. The refines link is created automatically

​

Link to Verification Test Cases

1. Click the cell in the Verification/Validation column
2. Click Add Link (+ icon)
3. Select test case(s) from the picker
4. Multiple test cases allowed per requirement (many-to-many traceability)

• Validation Plan (customer requirements) — Does the system meet user needs? Links to ValidationTestCase work items.
• Verification Plan (system/subsystem/design) — Does the design meet specifications? Links to VerificationTestCase work items.

​

Apply SC/CC Classification

• SC (Safety Critical) — Orange label, requires FMEA coverage
• CC (Conformance Critical) — Red label, requires traceability to characteristics

1. Click the Classification cell
2. Select from dropdown: SC, CC, or leave blank
3. Classification triggers downstream validation rules in FMEA workflows

​

Filter and Sort Requirements

• Click the column header to toggle ascending/descending
• Default sort: outline number (preserves document hierarchy)

1. Click the filter icon in the PowerSheet toolbar
2. Add filter conditions (e.g., classification = SC)
3. Filters apply across all column groups

• Enable Group by Document from the view options menu
• Useful when working across multiple SRS or DRS documents

​

Export Requirements Matrix

1. Click Export in the PowerSheet toolbar
2. Choose format:
   • Excel — Preserves column groups, formatting, and formulas
   • PDF — Print-ready traceability report with color coding
3. Exported file includes all visible columns and applied filters

​

Verification

• Requirements organized in four color-coded levels (green/purple/teal/blue)
• Inline editable fields with auto-save
• Linked test cases displayed in orange verification columns
• SC/CC classifications rendering with orange/red labels
• Coverage gaps highlighted in empty verification cells
