Adding and organizing favorites in IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS®

If you use certain projects, folders, or modules regularly, you can add them to your favorites list in the database explorer. If you select a project or folder from your favorites list, its contents are shown in the right pane of the database explorer. If you select a module from your favorites list, it opens in your default edit mode, subject to your access rights.

Procedure

  1. To add an item to the favorites list, select a project, folder, or module in the database explorer and click the Add to favorites icon.
  2. To add an open module, in the module, click the Add to favorites icon.
  3. To add all the open modules, at the database explorer, click File > Favorites > Add all open modules.
  4. To access a favorite, select an item at the Favorites field in the database explorer.

Results

If an item is moved in the database explorer, or if your access is removed, your favorites list is automatically updated. If an item is deleted, it is not removed from your favorites list, but is marked as deleted in the Organize Favorites window.

What to do next

To rename or rearrange items in your favorites list, at the database explorer, click the Organize favorites icon.
  • Select an item and click Edit to change its label. For example, you might want to distinguish between two identically named modules, or between a folder and module with the same name. If an item is renamed in the database, you can update its label in the favorites list. The label is not updated automatically.
    Note: You are not changing the actual name of the project, folder, or module, just the label that is displayed in your favorites list.
  • To move an item in the list, select it and click the up or down arrow. The items are listed in the same order in the database explorer as they are in the favorites list.
  • To undo the changes you have made, click Refresh.
  • Click Apply to save your changes, or click OK to save your changes and close the window.
