About this task
IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(
DOORS)
provides a library of templates to help get you up and running quickly. For example, there are
DoD-STD and MIL-STD templates. Templates help you to keep your modules consistent by encouraging
people to use a standard structure and headings. You can insert a template when you create the
module, or you can insert one later by selecting in the module window.
Procedure
- In the database explorer, select the folder or project
where you want to create the module.
- Click File > New > Formal Module.
- Type a name for the module.
- Optional: Type a description for the module.
- Optional: Type a prefix and a number for object
identifiers to start from. If you do not enter a number,
object identifiers start at 1 and are not prefixed.
- Optional: Select a template.
- Optional: Select a module archive. The
default location is set in Database Properties.
- Click OK.
What to do next
You can create your own templates and add them to the library, which is in the
DOORS
home directory, in
doors\lib\dxl\standard\template. Template DXL must be Latin1
or UTF8 encoded. See the DXL Reference manual, which can be accessed from
