Hi
This is what I am aiming for:
The system shall allow users to display the Name and Description within the same cell of a table, while visually separating the actual requirement from explanatory notes.
Notes:
The reason for this requirement is that it is an efficient use of space. Having the name and description in different cells doesn’t look as good to me, and it takes more space. However, I like to make a clear distinction between what is the actual requirement, and what is just supporting information. If the “description” field is used for supporting information, I use a “Notes:” heading, formatted as above. I use the formatting available in EA to do this. When writing directly into the description field (in EA, after opening the properties pop-up window) I write “Notes:” at the top of the description, and use the EA formatting to format as above. I then write the actual notes as normal text. This approach gives me a clear distinction between the Requirement and the supporting information. If I wanted the description field to be a part of the formal requirement I would simply omit the “Notes:” heading.
I hope this helps. I would be happy to post some examples, in the new year, if requested. Kind Regards
