Add fields

To add required fields for requirement customization, follow these steps.

1. Log on to ALM as a project administrator.
2. Click Tools / Customize. The "Application Lifecycle Management - Project Customization" module opens.

3. Add the following fields for the requirement entity in project entities (XX and XY are sequential numbers auto-generated by ALM).

   Field Name	Field Label	Field Type
   RQ_USER_XX	Change ID	String
   RQ_USER_XY	Created from	String

   Note The data type requirements for QC fields are described in Matching types.

   This is shown in the following figure.

   

4. In Requirement Types add fields "Change ID"/"Created from" to the Business type requirement.

   Business type is the default requirement type for incoming requirements (other types can be used).

5. Click Workflow > Script Editor.
6. Select Requirements module script.
7. Add the following code to Req_New and Req_Moveto (Req_New is called when a new Requirement is created; Req_Moveto is called when an existing Requirement is opened.)

   Req_Fields.Field("RQ_USER_XX").IsReadOnly=True

   Req_Fields.Field("RQ_USER_XY").IsReadOnly=True

8. Save your changes.
