Enable preview support for .wmf file.

Preview image is not displayed if a .wmf file is imported from DOORS 9 to DN 7.x. It would be great for future releases to be able to support this as it increases usability. Further to this, DOORS 9 did support .wmf files so I would expect its rep...

Login to Jira automatically when in a module

When in a module within a view containing an attribute that has Jira links, it will be useful to automatically login to the OSLC application so that we can easily filter on this attribute. We would not be required to manually search for a Jira lin...

When comparing configurations in DOORS Next provide a way for the user to specifiy attributes to ignore. Also need an option to ignore white space.

DNG Needs "Validated By" Link Constraints

DNG does not constrain links from ETM Test Cases (Validated By) to any DNG artifact type [Horizontal Traces]. In contrast DNG nicely supports vertical link constraints to be specified between DNG Artifact Types. It is a minimum expectation that sa...

More finely grained application of Roles and Permissions for artifacts and associated attributes to protect content from "unauthorized" editing.

This would allow the protection of specific content in DNG to the benefit of the team members working in the tool. Protection of "Content" and attributes from inadvertant (or intentional) changes by "unauthorized" team members by role would be des...
