# Example: requirements on different hierarchical levels

You can define a requirement to be a child requirement of the preceding requirement. Use the Close Requirement button to place the Close Requirement mark for the parent requirement after all its child requirements.

For example, to define Req_2 as a child of Req_1, and Req_3 and Req_4 as children of Req_2, place the Close Requirement mark for Req_2 after the definitions of its child requirements. Place the Close Requirement mark for Req_1 at the very end.

When the document contains paragraphs, place each Close Requirement mark on its own line in the appropriate location. Note that the Close Requirement marks for Req_1 and Req_2 are inserted after Req_3 and Req_4.

When the data are provided as a table, add a column to the end of the table and place each Close Requirement mark in the appropriate location:

After you export the requirements to ALM, Req_2 is displayed as a child of Req_1, and Req_3 and Req_4 are displayed as children of Req_2.
