Before creating a new requirement file you should have available a requirements document that outlines the properties and design options for the new file.
- In the File menu, click New.
- In the New File dialog box, select Expere Requirement Files and then select Static Requirement from the list of available options.

- In the New File dialog box, click Open.
The Document Properties dialog box opens.
- Complete the file by filling in the text boxes with information from the requirements document.

A static requirement file document must have a Document ID and XTemplate defined in order to create the file.
- Click OK.
The static requirement file is opened in the Requirements Editor in the Outline Editor view as NewFileNN.req.
- In the Requirements Editor, save the file by clicking File > Save. The best practice is to use the form name as the REQ file name; the target file name will, most likely, be defined in the requirements.
The static requirement file is saved and available for authoring.
