About this task
IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS) can contain a huge amount of data; some data is active and some is not. External reporting applications, such as IBM Rational® Insight®, can be overloaded with data that is not applicable to current activity. To ensure acceptable reporting scope and system performance, you can use the working set to limit available projects, folders, and modules. You can use the reportable shape to specify which attributes and link types are available for reports.
For the reportable shape, you
can specify two types of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) for attributes:
- URIs for requirement attributes that are associated with objects in modules.
- URIs for attributes that are associated with requirement collections at the module level.
Procedure
To configure the reportable shape:
- In theDOORS client, click . The Attribute and Linking Mapping window opens.
- Click the Reportable Shape tab.
- At the Requirements tab in the Reportable Shape page, select attribute and link types to make them available to the reporting application.
- At the Requirement Collections tab in the Reportable Shape page, select module attributes to make them available to the reporting application.
- Click OK to save the reportable shape.
