Indicator for existing links of any kind

Having an indicator attribute that shows the existence of any link is much faster than checking the artifacts links section in the sidebar or creating a filter for any possible link. Also OSLC links to RMM and ETM and other external links shall be...

Restrict DNX to allow only In_Module Links

Current behavior: DNX allows creation of both base links (directly to a base artifact) an in module links (artifacts inside a module). In Continental we want to work mainly in modules and all links should be in module links, except the attachments...

Add capability to reuse artifacts from different Project Areas and Components

Currently it is possible to re-use Artifacts within the same Component only. This is very restrictive and leads to unnecessary copying of Artifacts. It is a big problem Global configuration is in full use, and setup includes a lot of Project areas...

Change Set Compare function should use the GC Configuration when looking at outward links to populate what it is linked to rather than say that it is not in the current configuration.

When using DOORS in configuration manage mode and you link between components it is not possible to see in a changeset where your outgoing links go to because the deliver and compare functions DON'T use the GC to enable to see what is at the other...

Add "Primary Text" to Format Link Display Column

Need to see the linked requirements actual requirements text, not just the name of the requirement in views. It is possible to click on every requirement, but it takes a lot of time. Make it possible to select how to display linked requirements. S...

Provide a Filter by Link Validity

Provide a filter on the Link Validity column to be able to select all "Suspect links"/"Valid Links"/Invalid Links". At the moment in order to find for example suspect links we can do it only by searching for them manually.
