Creating application requirements

Defining and creating requirements for an application is an iterative process that requires input from all stakeholders. If the information about a requirement is detailed and up-to-date, the requirement is more useful during the application development process.

To create an application requirement:

  1. From the Designer Studio menu, click Application > Profile > Requirements.

    You can also access requirements from the Requirements link in the Technical details section on the Application Overview landing page.

  2. Click +Create requirement. In the Add/Edit Requirement dialog box, specify the following information:

    After you create an application requirement, you cannot modify its name, ruleset name, and ruleset version. The requirement name and ruleset name are displayed as links that you can click to open in the work area of Designer Studio. The ruleset version is displayed as part of the ruleset name link.

  3. Click the Details tab of the rule form and specify additional information, for example, a short description and detailed description of the requirement. For more information, see Add/Edit Requirement dialog box.
  4. Optional: In the Attachment section, add file and URL attachments that provide more information about the requirement.
  5. Click on the Associations tab to view the application rules, specification rules, and flows that reference the requirement.
