The "Upstream/Downstream Tree" enables you to easily visualize a particular record's relationships in a tree view.

This makes it easy to trace a record (such as a feature) upstream to its origin (such as a customer request) and downstream to derived artifacts (such as requirements, business rules, design documents, tests, and help documents).

Example "Downstream Tree" for a Feature in Accompa:

To view the "Upstream/Downstream Tree" of a requirement:

1. Go to the record detail page of the desired record.
2. In the "Relationships: Upstream" or "Relationships: Downstream" section, click the View Upstream Tree or View Downstream Tree link.
3. The resulting page shows "Upstream/Downstream Tree".
