Adding requirement document restrictions
Requirement document restrictions limit search and filter results to requirements that are or are not in any, all, or only the selected documents. For example, you can create a restriction to find requirements that are in multiple documents.
1. Click Add on the Add Filter, Edit Filter, or
2. Select Requirement Documents from the Restrict by list.
3. If you are adding a restriction to a filter, select Prompt for restriction information at run time to prompt for criteria when the filter is applied.
If this option is selected, you are prompted to enter or select criteria when applying a filter to a list, generating a report that uses the filter, applying a view that uses the filter on a list, or applying the filter when adding items to a link.
You may want to select this option if the restriction information changes frequently so you do not have to edit the filter. The restriction information you enter in the filter is used by default. See Selecting interactive filter criteria.

- Resides in searches for requirements that are in the documents.

Documents that match the criteria you selected are displayed.
