Introduced in Requirement Yogi 3.6
The excel loop can answer to 3 types of use cases:
I want to send my RY requirements to my customer for validation. Once he has added his comments to the Excel file, I want to be able to add these comments to my requirements as external properties.
I am using a testing solution in Jira or outside of Atlassian’s ecosystem, and RY does not integrate with it. I want to be able to see my test results in the requirements popup, and Traceability, without taking too much time.
I need to add the same external property (a tag or label for example) to a lot of my requirements, but doing it with the External Properties matrix is taking me too long. Excel can be way quicker.
If you are not facing one of those use cases, and you want to add new requirements to Requirement Yogi, using Excel, you can use the Legacy Excel Import: Excel Import: add external requirements to RY .
Before uploading your external properties
The excel loop is useful when the file you want to import contains requirements you have defined with Requirement Yogi. You can export requirements using the Traceability Matrix for example.
Make sure you have already created the external properties you wish to import, before starting to upload the file. You can add new external properties in the Administration.
