Doc Builder Module Picker for DOORS Next should allow selection of Views

When a user is in an ETM test plan and they go to link the test case to the requirement collection, ETM will allow them to not only select a module, but instead to select a view within that module. 

This same OSLC picker needs to be implemented within Doc Builder. For performance and report reuse purposes, it's much better to report against a module view than a module. But since we can't do that with Doc Builder, I have to train my users how to get a View URI for reporting purposes! That's a very painful step to take.

    I don't think this functionality existed in version 7.1, but in version 7.2 I do see this. Thank you! This has definitely been implemented. HUGE improvement!

    Hello Kevin,

    We were analyzing this request, and we figured out that by following the steps above, you will be able to achieve your request. Could you please try and let us know the result:

    Steps to create the view and check in PUB

    - When creating a view on DOORS Next, there is an option to keep the view personal, so if the view created is personal, then the view won't be able to be seen in the picker.
    - When creating the view, the user should select the shared option, and it will be shared within that particular project.
    - After opening the picker in the PUB, the user will be able to see the view that has been made and shared for it.

    Please try creating the module's view with the " Shared" option selected and check in the PUB picker.
