Lesson 1.1: Open the requirement perspective and views

This lesson describes how to open the Requirement perspective and views in the Rational® Software Delivery Platform product.
A perspective defines an initial set and layout of views in the Workbench window. The Requirement perspective includes a set of views that supports access to Rational RequisitePro® requirements, documents, query results, properties, and traceability.

  1. Open the Requirement perspective. There are 2 ways to do this:
    • Use the Window menu to select Open Perspective > Requirement. If the Welcome screen is maximized you will have to use this procedure.
    • Use the Open Perspective control to select Other... > Requirement. If you are in one of the other perspectives you can use this procedure.
    Note the Requirement button next to the Open Perspective control.
  2. Take a tour of the views in this perspective. Close unneeded views such as Welcome, and expand views to make the individual tabs readable. The Requirement perspective includes the following views:
    • Requirement Explorer
    • Requirement Link Problems
    • Requirement Query Results
    • Properties
    • Link Clipboard
    • Requirement Trace
    • Requirement Text
    • Requirement Editor (not visible until needed)
    You should see all of these views except the Requirement Editor view, which only appears when needed.
  3. A separate control allows you to examine other linkable domains. Click Window > Show View > Other. Expand the Linkability folder and click Linkable Domain Explorer.
