Requirements Module
The features available depend on your Altium product access level. If you don’t see a discussed feature in your software, contact Altium Sales to find out more.
The Requirements Module allows you to manage the formal requirement definition of your system. The specifications can be related to stakeholder needs, organizational needs, regulations, system specifications or design specifications, etc.
Within the requirements module, you can manage your project’s requirements easily and efficiently. You can store, filter, and assign your requirements to your project’s blocks while simultaneously tracking verification statuses and compliances throughout your design phases.
The default inbuilt fields are readily available for users, as shown in the following figure:

You can select/deselect the columns that are being used by clicking the “columns” menu on the right side of the screen.
Quick Load Table Copy Link Copied
For speeding up the loading of your requirements, the Requirements Module has a feature called “Quick load Table.” Quick Load Tables are able to display large amounts of data on a web page/software by loading the data as needed on demand instead of all at once. This means that the initial load presents the first set of requirements (typically 20) and their payload (directly related requirement fields). As you scroll down, the quick load table dynamically loads additional requirements in sets. This incremental loading ensures that the time to populate these requirements is fast.
Note that Quick Load Table is currently a beta feature.
Tables in Rich Text Copy Link Copied
In the text fields in the Requirements Module, you can create a table and customize the number of rows and columns. The table can contain texts but also Valis.
