Removing requirements from documents

You can remove a requirement from a requirement document if it is no longer used. Removed requirements are not deleted from Helix ALM.

Note: You cannot remove requirements from document snapshots. You may not be able to remove requirements from locked documents.

1. Open the Specification Document window for the document that contains the requirement to remove. Make sure Document View is selected.

2. Select the requirement and click the Remove Requirement button . You can also choose Edit > Remove Requirement.

3. If you are removing a requirement with child requirements, you are prompted to delete the child requirements. Click Yes to remove the requirement and child requirements.

Note: If you want to remove the parent requirement without removing the child requirements, move it in the document so it is no longer a parent and then remove it.

The requirement is removed from the document.
