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...

Define validation rules for attributes / data types

Validation rules contribute to the requirement quality by ensuring that requirement attributes are filled out correctly and consistent. There are several possibilites to enrich the validation possibilites in Doors Next (right now only boundaries f...

Define required attributes for specified type + workflow state for an artifact type

Analogous to IBM EWM (Precondition: Required value for type and state) it would be very useful if there is a possibility to create rules to ensure that if the artifact reaches a specific state in a workflow, a value for an attribute is set by the ...

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...

when merging between streams add a button to ignore all dependencies instead of having to select each one independently

When you are adding a new requirement to a stream and deliver it to another stream there could be many dependent change sets sometimes I have seen up ward of 40 dependencies. Today I have to check the ignore box 40 times paging through several pag...

Edit format of main artifact content from export/import without need of modifying the text itself, just format

After discussing with IBM team, we reached to the conclusion that Doors Next requirements Management supports updating requirements format made with an export to *.xlsx file, updating the content and format and re-importing back to DNG However, it...

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.
