Generating separate requirements within a Word outline level

Note: Teamcenter Extensions for Microsoft Office must be installed on your computer.

Within an outline level in the import document, further separation of requirements can be achieved through keywords. You can enter one or more keywords in the Import Spec wizard when you import a requirement specification.

Starting with the first Word heading style, the parser searches the body content for the keyword or keywords.

If one keyword is found before the next outline level, the requirement starts after the nearest outline level preceding the keyword:

• The text of the immediately preceding outline level paragraph becomes the requirement name.
• All material under the outline level paragraph becomes the requirement content. The paragraph itself does not appear in the content.
• The requirement has the subtype that you assign.

If two or more keywords are found before the next outline level, the requirements are separated as follows:

• The first requirement starts after the nearest outline level preceding the first keyword.
• The second requirement starts after the nearest paragraph separator preceding the second keyword. This requirement is created as a child of the first requirement.
• For each subsequent keyword, the nearest preceding paragraph separator begins the requirement, which becomes a child of the first requirement and a sibling of the preceding one.

Note: If keywords are found within the same content paragraph, sentence separators are used instead of paragraph separators. If two or more keywords are found in the same sentence, a requirement is created only for the first keyword.

The name of each requirement is the text of the immediately preceding outline level paragraph. All requirements have the same subtype, which you assign.

Note: Keywords in tables are ignored. Separate requirements are not created for this content.

If no keyword is found in the content before the next heading style, the heading text becomes the requirement name, and contains all material under that heading. The document heading does not appear in the requirement content.

At the next outline level, the parser repeats the processing described.
