Cross References to Data Definitions

Cradle-5.6 allows cross references to data definitions (also called DD entries) in both the Essential and Implementation domains’ Data Dictionaries (DDs).

Cross references are provided:

• From the pre-defined requirements item type to these data definitions
• From these data definitions to project-specific item types (system notes)

This support is enabled throughout Cradle tools, including:

• Toolset’s Cross Referencer tool
• Hierarchy Diagrams (HIDs) that show items and their cross references graphically
• Hierarchy definition files to specify characteristics for such HIDs
• Drag-and-drop in WorkBench
• Link rules in the Project Setup tools of WorkBench and Toolset
• View definitions in WorkBench
• The Linker tool used to manipulate cross references in Cradle web UIs
• Generating documents from Document Publisher
