Viewing Requirements

You can change the way requirements are displayed. In this exercise, you will learn how to zoom in and out of the requirements tree, rearrange the requirement order, and display and filter requirements in the requirements grid.

To view requirements:

1. Make sure the Requirements module is displayed.

   1. If the Requirements module is not displayed, on the ALM sidebar, under Requirements, select Requirements.

   2. Choose View > Requirements Tree to display requirements in a tree..

2. Zoom in and out of the requirements tree.

   ALM adds requirements to the requirements tree in order of creation. To rearrange the order, select the Cruise Search requirement and click the Move Down button. The Cruise Search requirement moves down below the Cruise Booking requirement.
