Manage trace links with revisions and occurrences

An occurrence is the repeated use of a requirement using different occurrence names.

For example, you could have a requirement for "Temperature-High" and then create copies that are occurrences that represent "Temperature-Medium" and "Temperature-Low." You can edit the occurrence name in the Information panel. You can create trace links in any relationship between revisions and occurrences, such as occurrence-to-revision, occurrence-to-occurrence, and so on.

Procedure

1. Locate the requirement content (revision or occurrence) that you want to link, and then click Open.

2. Create the trace link using any method.

   Revisions and occurrences are indicated with an R and O icon, respectively, in the Trace Link panel. Click the icon to switch between revision and occurrence. When switching to the occurrence, the occurrence name displays.

3. Click Create.
