Browse trace link relations

Procedure

1. Right-click an object with one or more trace links and choose Send To→Relation Browser.

   The Relation Browser perspective appears with the object and its first-level children displayed in a graphical layout.

2. In the Relation Browser view menu, choose Contexts→Traceability.

3. To view the complying or defining objects related to the object trace links:

   • Right-click the node and choose Show Predecessors→1 Level to expand and view defining objects for the trace link, one level up, for example.
   • Right-click the node and choose Show Successors→1 Level to expand and view complying objects, one level down, for example.

   The node graphically expands to show the first-level trace link complying object or objects.

Note: Trace links on occurrence objects appear as a blue solid line. Trace links on absolute occurrence objects appear as a blue dotted line. The trace link tooltip displays the trace link name.

You cannot get information on the trace link context for an absolute occurrence object from the Relation Browser view. The context information for a trace link on an absolute occurrence object is available in the Trace Links view or the Traceability view.
