IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

Showing 172

Request to introduce a hierarchy structure to the DOORS views list. Long lists of many views become easily unmanageable in the current UI. Introducing categories under which view names can be grouped will greatly enhance the user experience with long view lists.

Some shared modules can have a huge number of views. Naming of views is often not conducive to usability - ie. showing frequently use views on top of the list to avoid (long) scrolling) when selecting a view. Naming views to achieve this (for exam...

A download checksum for installation media

The ELM suite has a checksum for installation downloads. This provides confidence that the installation media is not missing files or data. Our IT security guidelines recommend the use of checksums on downloadable media. It is likely that this wil...

DOORS: Users shall be able to edit the ReqIF definition "Name" and "Description" fields

When a user creates a ReqIF definition and clicks OK there is now no way to edit the "Name" and "Description" fields. If the user has made a typo their only option is to delete this ReqIF definition and create a new one. DOORS should allow users t...

Implement identical richtext capabilities between DOORS 9 client and DOORS Web Access, for example RTF colors

Currently RTF in DWA is more limited compared to the DOORS 9 client. For example, text colors that show in the client are not displayed on the web. Similar feature scope for Richtext between the two methods of displaying module data, is desirable.

Allow the controlled modification of attribute definitions while some module data is locked for shared edit.

In a high availability around-the-clock scenario, it is not feasible to stop shared editing in order to modify attribute definitions and purge objects. Both types of tasks need to take place within the same time frame. Perhaps the concept of setti...

Allow to copy projects, folders and modules while data is locked for editing therein

In a busy database accessed by users across multiple time zones, the limitation of exclusivity between copying projects, folders and modules, and locking data in modules for editing is a serious constraint. Breaking up this exclusivity will greatl...

Allow archiving of projects and modules while users have edit locks on data

Currently both tasks - archiving and editing, require exclusive access to all modules in a project (project archives), all data in a module (module archiving) (exclusive edit) or some data in a module (shared edit). This excludes the ability to cr...

In DWA GUI add a notification mechanism (similar to ELM) when content displayed has changed in the background and offer to refresh.

DOORS Web Access lacks the triggered viewport refresh of the DOORS 9 Windows client. It has however all the necessary hooks available to it to display a "data has changed in the background" notification, and to provide the user with a choice to re...

(optionally) Store filter and view settings with a baseline

Baselines store data. But they do not store the views and filters and their settings at the time the baseline was taken / current data. This creates issues down the line when views and filters change or get removed. It would be preferable to store...

Add an audit trail / history for user and group management operations

Audits frequently review what admin added/modified/deleted which user/group when and why. This is currently not recorded in an integrated audit or history feature. It is obvious why this would be useful. Tracking these operations in the logs fails...
