Adding items to existing links

You can add additional items to existing links. For example, a link may have been created when generating a test case from a requirement. You can add manual test runs and issues generated from the test case to the existing link for traceability purposes.

You cannot select automated test results when adding additional items to a link. You can only link test results to other items when working with test results in other areas of Helix ALM.

If you know which item is part of the existing link you want to add to, you can drag the item to add to the link directly onto the linked item in a list window. Select Add to existing link when prompted. Select the link in the Add to Existing Link dialog box and click OK.

1. Click the Links tab when you are editing or viewing an item with links.

2. Select the link to add an item to and click Edit Link.

3. Click Select Items to Add.

The Select Items to Add dialog box opens.

4. Select an item Type. The items displayed depend on the selected type.

5. Select the items to add to the link.

To find items, you can search, go to a specific item number, apply a filter, or select the <Recent Items> filter to view a list of recently accessed items. If you search, you can paste the URL for the item to add to the link to easily find it.

6. Click Add.

The item is added to the link.

7. Click OK to save the changes.
