Use properties to search for requirements

All columns of a table are saved as properties and you can search by this criteria. Let's take this example in the editor:

The requirement will look like this:

  • Each column is both included in the title and in the properties,

  • In the current situation, we've defined that the first column was the description.

 

Requirement Yogi helps you build the query for each property if the name is short (<80 letters) and without space. For example the property "Category" becomes hyperlinked in the popup, which leads to the search screen with the preset query: @Property = 'CRITICAL'.

Build clean descriptions for your requirements: The "RY Property" macro

To achieve the configuration of the last section, we've added a small macro in the headers of the table. You can see it on the first screenshot, the name is "RY Properties". Here are the options:

  • Anywhere on a requirement, you can define a property and its value.

  • If it's in a column header, it applies to the whole column.

    • You can "rename" the column for the purpose of the properties. Searchable columns can't contain a space.

    • You can "ignore" the column, if the contents are irrelevant for the requirement.

    • You can set which column contains the correct description of the requirement by ticking "Title".

Create reports for those requirements
