Configuring requirement types

When users add requirements, they must select a requirement type, such as business or functional requirement. You can configure the requirement types your team uses to categorize requirements based on their purpose and manage groups of requirements more effectively.

Helix ALM includes default requirement types that you can use or modify. See Default requirement types. You can also add other types for the requirements your team uses.
