Transition to the cloud

The first version is very simple, but contains the essential parts of the workflow:

•  The requirement macro,
•  The search,
•  The properties and dependencies,
•  The traceability matrix.
•  A wizard to transform a page into a Requirement Yogi page.

It will at least help customers plan and visualize how to migrate their data. But it lacks the following features:

• The little popup. Since it is not possible to do it, the popup will be replaced by a full page. This still allows customers to navigate across requirements and build traceability matrixes, which is the essential part of the product.
• Saving the traceability matrix,
• The baselines,
• A migration tool from Server to Cloud,
• Requirements in vertical tables, the RY Property macro (hidden properties, coloured requirements), dictionaries, the RY Reports macro, the traceability matrixes in pages.

This first version is included in the Security Bug Bounty, which ensures the trust of customers.

•  Ability to save the traceability matrix.

•  Integration with Jira.

This is not contractual:

• Baselines. As opposed to our first announcement, Baselines won't be available on the cloud. We will re-evaluate this decision once we have more maturity with our cloud app.
• A migration tool. However, traceability matrixes will never be able to migrated, since the underlying data is entirely different.

 We may develop those features one day, but certainly not before November 2021.

• Vertical tables, which was a trick on Server to define a requirement as parent of the following ones.
• The RY Reports macro, which allowed displaying search results in pages. Instead, users are invited to save their report and share it directly with others.
• The "transform to static table" feature, which allowed transforming a report into a raw table in a page.

 We cannot / won't develop the following features for the Cloud version:

• Requirements must be defined in tables, and the table format is strict (keys must be in the first column, the title in the second, and properties/dependencies in subsequent columns).
• The Alt + Shift + R shortcut won't work in the Cloud. We have a wizard to assist with automatically replacing requirements.
• The "RY Property" macro, which was specific to the server, replaced with the transformation wizard.
• The popup with the requirement excerpt. It is replaced with a full page in the cloud.
• The coverage and dependency matrixes, which wasn't popular. The traceability matrix retrieves the same results in a better way.
