Creating RRs

Original problems or requirements described from the perspective of customers can be managed as RRs. By creating an RR, you can set the background, value, details, and priority of the requirement.

Prerequisites

An IPD-standalone software project is available, in which you have permission to create and duplicate RRs.

Creating RRs

  1. Access the CodeArts Req homepage.
  2. On the project homepage, click Raw Requirements.
  3. Click RR. On the RR page, set related parameters.

    Attachment

    The maximum number of attachments for a raw requirement is 100, and the total size of them should be no more than 50 MB.

    By default, it is the project to which the RR belongs and cannot be changed.

    Raised By

    By default, it is the creator of the RR. Multiple creators can be selected.

    Responsible Project

    Project to which the RR belongs.

    • If the current project is selected, this requirement is internal.
    • If another project of the tenant is selected, the requirement is submitted to external parties.

    The current project is selected by default.

    Recipient

    Owner who undertakes the RR.

    If multiple recipients are selected, data will be synchronized based on the recipients' processing speed.

    Expected Completion

    Expected completion time of the RR.

    Priority

    Priority of an RR, including Low, Medium, and High.

    The default value is Medium.

    Copy To

  4. Click Submit. The Raw Requirements page is displayed and "Request submitted successfully" is displayed in the upper right corner.

    • If you click Save Draft, the RR list is displayed. The requirement status is To submit.
    • If you click Cancel, the creation of the RR is cancelled.

    The new requirement is displayed in the RR list, and the requirement state is Analyzing. If another project of the tenant is selected for Responsible Project, choose Other Projects to view the new RR.

    After an RR is created, the people selected for Raised By, Recipient, and Copy To will receive email notifications and internal message notifications. If not, set notifications or modify notification settings. For details, see Configuring Notifications.

NOTE:
  • RRs that are being reviewed or in progress cannot be deleted.

  • If an RR of a proposing project is deleted, it is permanently deleted. If an RR of a responsible project is deleted, it is moved to the project's recycle bin.
  • RRs in the recycle bin can be restored or permanently deleted. After being restored, RRs restore to their original status. Data in the recycle bin will be permanently deleted in 30 days.
