Configuring Systems Engineering
Configure keywords for importing requirement specification structures
When you import requirement specifications from Microsoft Office Word, Systems Engineering uses Word outline-level heading styles to parse documents into a hierarchy of parent, child, and sibling requirements. You can further control the separation of requirements by configuring the REQ_import_keywords site preference with keywords that occur in content under the headings.
Note: The REQ_import_keywords user preference can also be set from the Keywords box in the Import Spec wizard.
Procedure
- Choose Edit -> Options to display the Options dialog box.
- Select Systems Engineering.
- In the Keywords to Import box, enter the keywords at whose occurrence you want imported requirements to begin. (Use a comma to separate two keywords.)
- Click Apply to commit your edits and keep the dialog open, or OK to apply edits and close the dialog box.
