Ability to select all dependencies when delivering changes between streams

When delivering changes from one stream to another, we occasionally encounter dependencies that we may want to ignore. We must select each dependency to ignore one by one. If a "Select All" button could be added, this would save us time. We've had...

Ability to search on specific attributes

My team would find it very useful to select specific attributes to search while using the Find function. This would reduce time for searches (our documents are quite large and have a wide variety of attributes) and would help us zero in on exactly...

Currently you can view some attributes of the linked requirement except if that linked requirement is on a different server. We need to see the attribute values for linked requirements even if on a different server.

The current behavior does not provide the user with consistent behavior. We have the outgoing link configured so that we can see the state of the requirement that is linked. This isnt capability is very useful but in the current implementation it ...

Display progress bar while exporting data from Module

When we export the data from Module in either csv/xls/xlsx, it just gives a message saying "The export operation has started. The process might take a considerable amount of time, depending on how many requirements are being exported." So, the use...

Support to select which page is shown in File preview instead of first page

Sometimes when using e.g. Word Plugins to generate flow charts, Word stores the script on first page and the actual flow chart is on second page. This is not usable for users viewing Modules: they would like to see the flow chart instead of script...

Allow users to select more than one module view at a time

We use the shared view feature in DOORS Next to limit the number of attributes that are exported in a module. Described here in Step 5 https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/lifecycle-management/7.0.2?topic=files-export...

Provide an indicator in review comment list to identify the artifacts for which comment(s) have been answered/responded

Warn the user when duplicate artifact is added to the module

Currently, users are allowed to use same artifacts in one module which are duplicate entries and causes confusion for other users. It would be really useful if we get a warning message when the user is trying to add an artifact which is already ex...
