Defining rules for filtering properties
The following key fields can be specified in the rule table and are applied to the properties being exported:
| Key field | Syntax | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level | {%L-Level} |
{%L-2} |
Filters data based on the hierarchical level of the object. E.g. when 2 is the argument, objects at the second level in the structure are exported. |
| Relation | {%R-Relation-Name} |
{%R-FND_TraceLink} |
Filters data based on the relation traversed to the object found. |
| Type | {%S-Type-Name} |
{%S-Requirement} |
Filters data based on workspace object type. |
| Transfer Mode | {%T-Transfer-Mode-Name} |
{%T-Req_default_TM} |
If a transfer mode is found that matches the one specified in the template, the secondary objects associated with the object are also exported. |
Example
For a Relation key field: assume the row contains property tags for a primary object, and one of the property tags is {%R-name}, which calls the names of all relation objects for the primary object. To export only the names of the object's trace links, enter the {%R-FND_TraceLink} rule tag in the Relation column — the export process filters the relations and passes only trace link names to the output file.
