Assembling (Building) a Document

The Build option is used to verify the validity of the source XML (REQ file) and perform troubleshooting by searching for errors or inactive rules within an REQ file. This feature assembles a single REQ file and you must have an REQ file open in the Requirements Editor to enable the option.

On the Assembly menu, click Build. The system then processes the REQ file and provides a status message in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. Any errors will appear in either the Build Error List or Content Error List views. For example, a successfully assembled document will read something like this in the status bar:

Note: Make sure you save the REQ file before running the Build. Also, all attributes must be declared in the source XML of the REQ file (for example, the attribute "ID").
