Requirements Interchange Format definitions are composed
of one or more formal modules, a view of the data in each module,
and the locks to apply to the data when the definition is exported.
Before you begin
You must have the power to partition data, and modify access
to the project.
Procedure
- In the database explorer, select the project where you
want to create a definition, and then click .
- Click the ReqIF Definitions tab,
and then click New.
- Type a name and optionally a description for the definition,
and click OK.

the definition.
The Add ReqIF Definition window
opens.
- In the Options pane, select the version
of the module to include from the Module Version list.

exported. The user in the remote database can edit that data, and
can send their updates back to you.
- In the Include data in view list,
select the view that displays the data that you want to export.
If you have selected either Lock objects or Lock
attributes, you must select a second view in the Apply
locks to objects in view field.

attributes, then the label changes to Apply
locks to attributes in view.
This view displays
the objects or attributes that you want to be editable in the exported
data.

the module to the ReqIF definition.
