Navigating and organizing requirement specification structures

Use these methods for navigating and organizing requirements specification structures in the Requirements view.

Note: If your top level object is a type of object that is not a child of the Specification business object in the data model, then you must configure the object to allow moving the first level objects up and down in your structure.

To do this Use these options
Navigate up and down through the requirements structure. Use the ↑ and ↓ keys or the Page Up and Page Down keys.
Move to the first and last columns in the row for the line in the requirement structure. Use the Home and End keys. The Home key moves to the first column and the End key moves to the last column.
Reorder the child nodes of the structure. Choose Edit→Move Up or Edit→Move Down. Click Move Up or Move Down on the toolbar. Edit the Number property (for example, changing it from 2 to 4) by selecting the row and choosing Edit→Edit Number.
Move a child node up to become a sibling node within the structure. Choose Edit→Promote One Level. Click Promote on the toolbar. Press Ctrl+↑. Edit the Number property by removing a level (for example, changing it from 2.1 to 3) by selecting the row and choosing Edit→Edit Number.
Move a sibling node down to become a child node within the structure. Choose Edit→Demote One Level. Click Demote on the toolbar. Press Ctrl+↓. Edit the Number property by adding a level (for example, changing it from 3 to 2.1) by selecting the row and choosing Edit→Edit Number.
