Welcome to the Cradle 6.3 Startup Guide

Step Four

Manually link requirements to functions.

 

Using WorkBench, open two query panes. In the left pane, open or create a query producing ALL requirements. In the right pane, open or create a query to produces essential specifications – functions. Ensure that both queries are displayed in 'tree view' style by clicking the following icon:


Or

Right click and select Style → Tree:

Or use Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+4

Or Alt+v then Alt+r

 

To create links between requirements and functions from the eFFBD Diagram specifications, drag and drop the requirement onto the function.

Requirements linked to Functions

This produces a hierarchy of linked or cross referenced items. Through this you can control and see how the different sections of the overall system link together.

Requirements:
Requirement
Process Specifications.gif:
Process specification, in this case functions derived from requirements.
Data Dictionary:
Data dictionary definition
Diagram:
Diagram symbol, in this case a behaviour diagram.

We encourage you to experiment with this part of this evaluation project. Create links and unlink (right-click → Unlink) these links and see how these changes are reflected in the system.

Steps:

  1. Create a project using the Project Manager Done
  2. Capture requirements from a Microsoft® Word® documentDone
  3. Import diagrams in WorkBench Done
  4. Manually link requirements to functions You Are Here.
  5. Produce matrix from requirements to functions
  6. Produce matrix from functions to architecture
  7. Create User Requirement Document in Document Publisher.
  8. Produce a final document showing links from requirements to functions, links from functions to architecture and transient links from requirements to architecture and the final specifications.
