Doors Next create link (linking artifact text with hyperlinks): Allow another default value as 'No Traceability Link'.

Enhance the create link feature (linking artifact text with hyperlinks) to define an existing link type as the default Link type (currently 'No Traceability Link' is the default value and cannot be modified).

Add "edit" option to change format/template of headings to other than standard

Editing the standard template for headings (or any artifacts having "heading" properties) will improve the user experience in several ways: Changing the font color from lighter grey/grey to any other colour will improve usability/visibility, espec...

Add an option for admins to set standard templates for artifact creation by users

This option would enable users to automatically work with predefined content for artifact types, e.g.: pre filled gapped sentences to support writing requirements pre formatted text (other than standard format for "content"), saving formatting tim...

ERM : Compare configurations - Skip the "No differences" screens

The "Compare Configurations" function displays 3 different screens. 1 - The first screen concerns "Component Properties"2 - The second screen concerns "Folders"3 - The third and last screen concerns artifact differences In the case of the comparis...

Add ability to see internal properties of a type

Disallow Import project properties between parent and child streams of same component (nested) streams

This would be useful because it would avoid the downstream effects of allowing this operation. The downstream effects are that this operation creates a duplicate type system that is unbeknownst to the user, and thus a future delivery of type updat...

Capability of grouping components in "component folders"

According to the way we manage the specifications and design documents in DNG and the numerous specifications per project area, the number of components can be important (up to 50) per project area. Then it isbe difficult to find quickly a compone...

Simplify the UI for delivering change sets to configurations, when the change sets include many changes but very few of the changes conflict with the content of the target configuration.

DOORS Next currently includes an option for delivering a change set and automatically resolving changes that do not collide with the contents of the target configuration. However, if EVEN ONE of the artifacts in the change set includes a collision...

Add shortcuts for "Find" and "Go to" feature.

Users request to be able to call the "Find" and "Go to" through short cuts in order to gain time when searching artifacts. This would be a great improvement for the dayly work efficiency of users.

Prevent terms to be defined twice with an identical name

If I define a term for the glossary the identical term can be defined twice, which is confusing and lead to double work. This should be prevented or at least when defining a second identical term the user shall be informed about the already existi...
