What's new

Helix ALM 2024.2 includes the following key features. For a complete list of features and enhancements, check out the release notes.

Configure field layouts to organize fields in groups

Helix ALM administrators and other high-level users can now configure field layouts to organize fields in groups in Add, Edit, and View Item windows/pages.

Each item type has a default layout you can use or you can configure different layouts for specific security groups and requirement types.

To help users understand the purpose of a group of fields, you can provide a description of a group in a tooltip. To identify any problems with a field layout, such as missing required fields or fields included in the layout that are hidden by field security, you can evaluate the layout to generate a report to help with troubleshooting.

When upgrading the Helix ALM desktop client from an earlier version, fields that were previously displayed in the main area are now in the General group and custom fields are now in the Custom Fields group.

Enhancements for users with Requirement Management Reviewer licenses

In the Helix ALM web client, users logged in with a Requirements Management Reviewer license and a Test Case Management license can now generate test cases while reviewing a requirement.

Users logged in with a Requirements Management Reviewer license and an Issue Management license can now create an issue while reviewing a requirement.
