Display Embedded Artifacts in "Where Used"

In "Where Used" you can see if an artifact is used in Modules, included in reviews, etc. - but not if it is embedded in anther artifact! This means it can be included in sveral modules - and that is not displayed. This makes impact analysis go wrong.

in-app reviews require opening 5 to 10 tabs to complete

How to get just what you changed for review and shows links for that. Prefer to do inside the tool, but difficult.Not being able to conduct reviews in the tool and the difficulty of exporting a change set to a document to facilitate review outside...

No multi-component-set view

The inadequacy of the change set views and exports when it comes to links to/from other components. i.e. not having a “multi-component-change-set” sort of view.

Create Report Doesn't have all the information required to do the review

On Compare ConfigurationsMissing text/attributes. Not enough context to review the changes. Will also fail on modules with broken links.

Multiple changesets mixed in diff

History view does not separate change sets so the changes can be interleaved, thus making it hard to see just the changes for a particular change set.

Allows creating wrong artifact types

Allows creation of artifacts with wrong types leads to issues.ReqIF has problems, Reports have problems due to this. Need enforcement of artifact type so, for example, non-modules can't be modules. Allowed to create and then edit an artifact to an...

Cannot prevent changes during review period

Somewhat a symptom of not having in-tool review. Cannot prevent changes subsequent to review/approval but prior to delivery of a change set. Change set state is either open or delivered. No "Under review-don't make changes" state. Since have to do...

Can't see just your own differences between changesets

Can't see just your own differences between change sets. Mixed in with everyone's diffs. Very confusing to see just your own diffs and get misleading visualizations so that now have to dive into each to confirm if real changes or not.Difficulty wi...
