Associations Types

Hi,

When I associate two requirements I can only choose between the types "Related-to" and "Depends-on" . But I can filter by more types. How can I use those types and can I add more types? Those two types are not enough.

Thanks, Christine!

Hi Christine,

The additional types (GANTT Types) will be added in the near future.

They have been added to the filter list in anticipation of the future functionality (GANTT chart).

Regards

David

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Does that mean I cant add new types by myself? And the Type "Implicit" will be also available in the future?

Thanks

Christine

Hi Christine,

No they are a fixed set.

Implicit is for those that are derived (Requirement - Test Case - Test Run - Incident gives an implicit Requirement - Incident) link.

I am waiting for these features too to be able to add my own link types.

Great! As this thread is reopened, I hope that it is coming soon.

Associations  - that is great Spira's feature!

And I hope, that adding new types won't take you a lot. Link tasks in a project - Microsoft Support 

So we need usual for types of dependencies like ion usual Gantt (better with an ability to set a lag): Add lead or lag time to a task - Microsoft Support

The same request. We need custom associations types and allowing associations any entities to any. Moreover it should be product/project wide.

Associations is a very powerful Spira feature, you need to remove it's extra restrictions. So three requests:

  1. Custom types;
  2. Any type of entity to any;
  3. Remove restrictions that do not allow to associate product/project wide.
