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. Click Requirements, and from Detailed Planning, click Requirements.
2. Select All Records from the View drop-down list.
3. Click Details in the Actions column of the requirement you want to work with.
4. Click Create New Version.
5. Select which type of version to create:

   Minor

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

   Major

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

6. Click Create.

   The following fields or sections have updated values:

   Version Status

   Current Version Number

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