Filtering, sorting, and creating views in modules
You can change the layout of a module, so that only the
data that you want to see is shown. You can add columns, apply filters
and sorts, and hide lower levels of the hierarchy. To see the same
layout again, you can save the layout as a view that you can access
every time you open the module.
- Defining filters
Filters let you control the data that is displayed in a module by including or excluding objects. You can define filters based on attributes, links, objects, and columns. - Regular expressions for searching and filtering modules
You can use regular expressions when you search or filter formal modules. - Defining sorts
Use sorts to control the order of objects in modules in IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS). - Selecting the level of objects to show in modules
You can specify how many levels of the hierarchy you want to see by selecting a level from the list on the module toolbar. Objects that are lower in the hierarchy than the level you have selected are hidden. - Selecting the attribute to show in tables
By default, in table cells you see the main column attributes, Object Heading, and Object Text. You can select a different attribute to show in all the tables in the module - Inserting, editing, and removing columns
In IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS), you can insert columns to show the values of an attribute or of layout DXL and you can edit and remove columns. The maximum number of columns you can insert is 128. - Inserting graph columns
In IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS), a graph column is a column that contains one or more bar charts. Each bar chart shows the value of an attribute. The attribute must have numeric values; it must be of base type integer or real. Graph columns are layout DXL columns. If you edit the values of the attributes that are shown in the columns, the bar charts are immediately updated to show the new values. - Inserting icon columns
An icon column uses an icon to show the value of an attribute. In IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS), you can use an icon to represent either a numeric attribute (attributes of type Integer or Real) or an enumerated attribute. You can show the values of only one attribute in an icon column, unlike a graph column that can show multiple attributes. Icon columns are layout DXL columns. If you edit the values of the attributes shown in the columns, the icons are immediately updated to show the new values. - Saving views in
When you create a formal module in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS), the default view of the module is the Standard view. This view shows the module explorer, the ID column, and the main column. If you have changed the layout of a module, and you want to see the new layout next time you open the module, you save the new layout as a view. For example, you might have added columns, applied filters or sorts, hidden objects at lower levels in the hierarchy, changed the size of the module window, or the size of columns. You can set the new layout to be the default view when the module opens, or you can open the module, and then select the view from the views list. - Viewing, editing, and deleting views
Use the Manage Views window to see a list of the module views that you have access to. Subject to access rights, you can edit and delete views in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS).
