• Click Requirement on the toolbar.

Note: You can also create a requirement specification from the Quick create bar in the Requirements view.

1. In the New Requirement wizard, select Requirement as the requirement type, and then click Next.
2. In the Requirement Information dialog box, enter the following information for the new requirement.
3. (Optional) Click Next to assign the requirement to a workflow process template and project.
4. Click Finish to complete the new requirement and close the wizard.

The new requirement is created and occupies the last position at the selected level.

You can click Cancel to close the New Requirement wizard, or you can create another requirement.
