Collection Creation


Introduction

Collection Creation (CCR), designed by Softacus for IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next, is an extension that empowers users to effortlessly create a collection of artifacts once located within the DOORS Next module. Additionally, the users can specify the collection name, location, and collection type within the widget without a need to close the module.

Use Cases and Features

Based on the functionalities and use cases that this extension is helping you with, we kept the user interface as simple as possible. In the current version of the widget you can find:

  • Widget information section - section with version, short description and other information about the widget

  • Collection name textbox: in this textbox, the user can write the name of the collection to be created

  • Collection folder dropdown menu: in this dropdown menu, the user can specify in which folder the collection to be created is going to be saved

  • Collection type selection: in this dropdown menu, the user can find collection types to select from

  • Progress bar - the progress bar will display the completion status of the process

Preconditions and Restrictions

The widget is currently designed to work only while a DNG module is opened, and the widget will also inform you to select a module view or select artifacts within the module. If the user does not meet these requirements, the widget will show an error message.
