 Print This

"Save Settings" section in the "Create Document" wizard enables you to save currently selected field values, for quick retrieval later. Once you save the current settings, you and other users at your organization can quickly load it later into the "Create Document" wizard.

You can use this to save time, as well as standardize the settings used to generate requirements documents across your organization to ensure consistency.

How to save settings:

  1. First, select desired values for fields in the "Create Document" wizard. After you've done so - please do the following in the "Save Settings" section at the bottom of the wizard.
  2. Enter a "Setting Name" using the Add New Choice option at the bottom of the "Setting Name" picklist. This will enable you to save the current field values under this "Setting Name".
  3. Enter a description - such as the purpose of this saved setting, who should use it, when to use it, etc - into the "Notes" field.
  4. Click "Create Now" button. The requirements document will be created, and your settings will be saved under the "Setting Name" you entered/selected.

How to load and use previously saved settings:

You can load settings that were previously saved - either by you or by other users at your organization.

  1. Click "Load Saved Settings" link at the top of the "Create Document" wizard.
  2. The page that appears will list all available settings in two tables - "Settings Saved By Me", and "Settings Saved By Other Users".
  3. Click the "Load" button next to the setting you'd like to load.
  4. You will be taken to the "Create Document" wizard, and all the fields will be automatically populated based on the saved setting.
  5. Click "Create Now" button. The requirements document will be created based on the loaded settings.
