Create requirements

Note:

To create new requirements, you must be granted the permissions to view and to create new Work Items in the project.

Your approach to creating a new requirement depends on the approach to requirements you have decided to use with Polarion.

If you have opted to define requirements using LiveDoc Documents, see Work Items in Documents. You can automatically create requirement artifacts in Polarion when you import a Microsoft Word document. See Importing Word Documents.

You can optionally create requirement artifacts directly in the project's integrated tracker. Remember that the Work Item type Requirement is a default type for some project templates, and that some other type corresponding to requirements may be define in your project configuration.

  1. Open the project (see Access Projects).

  2. In Navigation, click Work Items and select the Table view.

  3. In the Table view's toolbar, click Create and choose Requirement (or the custom type that corresponds to a requirement in your project). A new Work Item is created.

  4. In the Work Item Editor (lower half of the Table view), edit the data fields as needed and click the Create button when finished.
