Chapter 3 • Creating Synchronization Links

Creating Requirement Type Mappings

When synchronizing requirements, you create mappings between requirement types in each endpoint. For example, you might map the Functional requirement type in Quality Center to the Functional requirement type in RequisitePro.

Consider the following points when creating requirement type mappings:

➤Each requirement type in an endpoint can be mapped only once to a requirement type in the other endpoint. Records for requirement types that are not mapped are not synchronized.

➤For each requirement type mapping, new requirements created in one endpoint only are synchronized. For more information, see “Setting Event Options for Requirements Synchronization” on page 63.

➤Folders are automatically mapped if they contain a requirement type that is mapped. They cannot be configured.

For more information on synchronizing requirements between

Quality Center and another endpoint, refer to the appropriate appendix for that endpoint.

To create requirement type mappings for a link:

1Verify that you are working in edit mode. For more information, see “Editing Synchronization Link Settings” on page 99.
