Access requirements
Once you know how to locate requirements in a project, you will most likely want to access some or all of them. At a minimum, you need the permission to view Work Items for the project containing requirements. If you are unable to access requirements, or perform some operation with them, contact the project leader (usually listed on the project's Home page), or the project administrator to review your user permissions.
Query for the type of Work Item
In a LiveDoc Document that contains requirements, you can use a query to filter the content to show only the requirements. See Filter Work Items in a Document.
In any context where the user interface provides the possibility to enter and run a query, you can isolate Work Items corresponding to requirements using the following query:
Where requirement is the ID of the Work Item type corresponding to a requirement in your specific project.
Most contexts where you can specify a query provide the Visual Query Builder tool, which enables you to construct simple and complex queries without having to know the underlying query language and syntax.
Legacy tool: Module
Special containers for requirements called Modules were provided in Polarion versions prior to version 2011. Modules appear in that and subsequent versions if they existed prior to the upgrade. It is recommended that users convert any existing Modules to the current LiveDoc Document format. Contact Polarion Technical Support if you need to convert legacy Modules to LiveDoc Documents.
Legacy tool: 2010 Documents
Polarion version prior to version 2011 provided templates for creating Microsoft Office Word and Excel documents that could store Polarion Work Item data in them. That technology had limitations imposed by the document format, and it is now deprecated in favor of LiveDoc Documents.
If you have legacy live documents created with Polarion versions 2010 and earlier, in Word or Excel format, these documents still exist in the repository but they are no longer indexed, and consequently do not appear in query results. If you still need the legacy documents in that format, and you want them indexed, please consult Polarion technical support.
