  • The excel loop is useful when the file you want to import contains requirements you have defined with Requirement Yogi. You can export requirements using the Traceability Matrix for example.

  • Make sure you have already created the external properties you wish to import, before starting to upload the file. You can add new external properties in the Administration.

Step by step guide

1. Upload

To upload your external properties, go into the External properties tab

→ Click on Upload Excel File

2. Choose a template

Once you have chosen the correct file, you will need to map columns to what they are (key, external property etc.)

→ You can use an already existing template if you have one, or go to the mapping without using a template.

3. Overview

In this screen, you can do multiple things:

  1. Give the template a name, and choose its permissions

  2. If you have multiple sheets in your Excel file, you can select the ones you want to import, or don’t

  3. Use the cog menu at the top of each of your column to map them to what type of information they are.

4. Mapping options

Cog menus have 5 options:

  • Key

  • Space

  • Baseline

  • Import as an external property

  • Ignored

You may have other columns as well, that are your requirements properties, but we do not care about them. We only care about the external properties. By default other columns will be put as “Ignored".
