Clearing suspect items

After you make changes to a suspect item or determine that changes are not needed, you can clear the suspect flag from the item.

Suspect items are automatically cleared if:

• A requirement marked as suspect based on a parent/child relationship in a requirement document is moved in the document.
• An item used as the source to mark all dependent items as suspect is removed from a link.
• A user with security permissions to edit links, but not clear suspects, removes an item from a link that is causing other items to be marked as suspect.

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

2. Select an item marked as suspect in the Link Details area and click Clear Suspect.

You can also clear suspects in the Investigate Suspect Dependencies dialog box. See Investigating suspect dependencies.

The item is no longer marked as suspect.
