Set verification method between requirement and EBOM occurrence with a trace link

You can update a trace link between a requirement and an EBOM occurrence by updating the trace link properties between the items.

Prerequisites: There must be an existing trace link between a requirement and EBOM occurrence.

Procedure

1. Open a requirement specification and select a requirement in the tree.

2. From the page-level toolbar, click More commands > View > Existing Trace Link.

   The Existing Trace Link dialog appears, showing the link properties. The Verification Method column does not appear in the properties table by default, so you need to add it.

   Note: When the Existing Trace Link panel is launched inside the matrix, no Occurrence to Occurrence trace link is displayed.

3. Click Arrange and add the Verification Method and Method Description columns to the trace link properties table.

4. Click Save and Arrange.

5. Click the Verification Method field for a requirement, and select a method from the dropdown list.

6. (Optional) Click the Method Description field and enter information about the verification method.

7. Click Save Edits, and then close the Existing Trace Link panel.

Results

Active Workspace updates the trace link properties with the verification method properties.
