Requirements Settings
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.
A few column fields in the Requirements Module have their drop-down menu to select the relevant option to the requirement. The admins can create and manage these options based on their use cases. The few drop-downs customizable by the admins are:
-
State
-
Type
-
Verification method
-
Custom drop-down field
To access the settings menu for the above column fields, the user has to navigate to the user name and click on settings. Upon clicking the “Settings” option, the admin will see the project settings, where they can modify the column fields. The video below illustrates how to access the project settings, which contain the requirement settings.
Project Settings Access—This is a detailed view of the Requirements & Systems Portal interface demonstrating how admins can access project settings to customize requirement columns.
State Copy Link Copied
States in Requirements & Systems Portal denote the state at which the requirement text is present. The default requirement states in the settings are Draft, In Review, and Final. The user can manually set the state of each requirement and add new states.

If any users change the requirement text, the user can set the transition state or change the state manually in the Requirements Module.
For example, when a requirement text is in the final state and needs to be modified due to a change in stakeholder needs, the user modifies the requirement text. If the transition state set up for the state “Final” is “Draft,” whenever the requirement text is edited, the state of the requirement will automatically change.

Types Copy Link Copied
System Engineers often use types to classify/group requirements based on their common features. To integrate this feature, the “Types” were introduced in Requirements & Systems Portal. The default types are Functional, System and Performance. Users can add other types based on their use cases. To add new types, click on the ”+”, add their states and create them.
