Create a New Version of a Requirement

When you create a requirement, the Version Status is set to Draft. To create an approved version, you complete one of the following tasks:

• If Requirement Change Management (RCM) is enabled, submit an approval request.
• If RCM is not enabled, create a version.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the requirement from the Requirements list page.
2. Click Create New Version.

   The New Version pop-up opens.

3. Select which type version to create:

   Minor version

   Specifies a point (0.1) increase in the version number.

   Major version

   Specifies a whole number (1.0) increase in the version number.

4. Click Create.

   The following fields or sections have updated values:

   Version Status

   The value changes from Draft to Approved.

   Current Version Number

   The value increases by a decimal point or whole number, which is specified by a minor or major version type.

   Versions

   A record is added to the Versions section, with the new version number and a time stamp.
