What are variants?
Requirement variants allow you to have multiple versions of a requirement.
Whether you need a different specifications for 2 different customers, or you want to track the history of your requirements, this is the feature you want to use.
How to use? Where to find?
| On the Search page, you can search the requirements that belong to a variant. By default, the current variant of the space is used. |
| On the Traceability page, you can display the requirements that belong to a variant. By default, the current variant of the space is used. From the suggestion menu, you can add a column Variant. |
| When clicking on a requirement, the details are displayed. The associated variant is displayed as a dropdown list. You have the possibility to switch between the variants where the requirement exists. Note: when selecting another variant, it does not affect it to the requirement. |
