Create a trace link across browser tabs

You can create trace links between requirements and other workspace objects, across browsers.

This procedure details trace link creation with requirements, but the procedure applies to the other supported objects such as system model blocks.

Note: You can create a one-to-many or a many-to-one trace link relationship, but you cannot create a many-to-many trace link.

Procedure

1. Locate the requirement content (requirement specifications, requirements, or paragraphs).

   The requirement content appears in the Documentation tab editor.

2. Select one or more requirements.

3. Click Trace Link or use the keyboard shortcut Alt+L.

   The Create Trace Link panel appears.

4. Drag the selected requirements to either the Start or End area on the Trace Link panel.

   Tip: To remove requirements from the trace link, select the requirements in either the Start or End panel, and then click Remove.

5. Using the Search function in Active Workspace, search for another object. The Trace Link panel remains open.

6. Drag and drop, or copy and paste, the object into the End area on the Trace Link panel.

7. Select the Type, and then click Create.

In the Documentation tab, the trace link icon turns bold to indicate that a trace link is active.
