Saving a Static Document as Dynamic

A static requirements document can be saved as a dynamic document. This is particularly helpful when needing to author the content of the document for ADA compliance.

When saving as a dynamic document, the following are retained:
  • all PTR rules (including instancing and package rules)
  • all text of the document
  • all fields
  • all bitmap images
Note: Only textual content can be saved during this process. All formatting for the document must be reconstructed.

To save as a dynamic document:

  1. With the static document open, select File > Save As. The Save File As window is displayed.
  2. In File name, enter a new filename for the dynamic document.
  3. From the Save as type list, select Dynamic REQ Document.
  4. Select Save. The Document Properties window is displayed.
    Note:
    • The Document ID and XTemplate are highlighted with a red border to prompt you to compelte them.
    • The Document ID is prepopulated with the ID from the source document, appended with "_Copy" to prevent duplicate IDs.
  5. Edit the Document ID and select an XTemplate and select OK to create the document.
    The new dynamic document is created and displayed within Requirements Editor.
