Sources

You can define a profile for a source of a requirement. Sources let you trace requirements back to their origins. Knowing how many sources and who requested a requirement can help you determine how quickly the requirement must be delivered. It is a factor in determining which requirements get done for a release of a product.

Sources can provide information about which geographic or market segments are involved. The following source types are available:

Business unit. Identifies a requirement from internal parts of your business.
Customer. Identifies a requirement from active or prospective customers.
Geography. Identifies a requirement specific to one or more geographies.
Industry. Identifies a requirement specific to one or more industries.

You can define additional custom fields (attributes) for a source. The custom fields are helpful, when the default fields provided are not adequate for the information you want to collect and store for sources. Additional custom fields are added from the Administration menu.

See the Administration Guide for more information.
