IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

Showing 191

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.

Terminate user sessions after maximum 24 hours on inactivity to comply with CMMC AC.3.019

CMMC AC.3.019 requires terminating user sessions after a defined period: Validate that:1. User sessions automatically terminated after a maximum of 24 hours of inactivity2. After user sessions are terminated due to inactivity, the application is c...

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...

DOORS RMF to support Windows 11

some companies are rolling out Win11 as their primary client OS and RMF/DOORS doesn't currently support it.

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...

ERM DOORS DXL security shall be more granular and allow super DXL users and standard DXL users

Currently the DXL security tab only specifies "Only users with Edit DXL power may edit and run DXL". This shall be more granular and allow different levels of DXL users For example: Level 1 DXL users are allowed to generate/modify attribute DXL/la...

Please free up license when user is kicked out via the DOORS database admin tool

When the DOORS Database Server Administration Tool is used to disconnect a user, the license is not freed up until the user clicks okay on the dialog box that tells them DOORS will exit. Most of the time, admins want to kick out users that have le...

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...
