Spreadsheets for specifications and requirements

You can export and import spreadsheets that contain information about application specifications or requirements. These spreadsheets are useful for distributing information to stakeholders, applying updates, and creating specifications and requirements in bulk.

After you generate and export an Excel spreadsheet for your specifications or requirements, you can make the following changes:

• Add a new row for each specification or requirement that you want the system to create on import.
• Modify non-key parts of existing rows to update specifications or requirements.
• Modify key parts of existing rows to create copies of existing specifications or requirements.
• Delete any row. Deleting a row does not delete the corresponding specification or requirement rule.

As a best practice, specify a unique name for an edited spreadsheet. Specifying a unique name reduces the possibility of accidentally overwriting the file the next time you export specifications or requirements.
