1.0 What's New in Dimensions RM 12.3?

Dimensions RM 12.3 addresses various enhancement requests and issues that were submitted by customers, including:

·       Configurable Requirements Lifecycle Workflow: Within a graphical editor, states and transitions together with access rights, visibility and ownership can be defined for a Dimensions RM class. State change history is visualized and transitions can be constrained.

·       New 'User' attribute type, which allows selection values based on particular users or users from specified groups.

·       Easy requirements linking with Split View (2 classes and their link in one view) and drag & drop.

·       New Trend Reporting: progress and changes of requirements or other trends can be visualized and embedded into a dashboard.

·       Pedigree View: graphical visualization of requirements history tree with change proposals.

 

·       Enhanced Access Rights on Categories: Role-based security for products, project, components, etc.

·       Enterprise Architect integration: The integration supports bi-directional linking of requirements and UML artifacts. Traceability can be visualized in Dimensions RM and model views can be embedded into RM requirements documents.

·       Enhanced visibility and extension of container attributes in requirement form and Home View tabs, including search filter and sorting. Additional filtering of containers in Manage Containers window.

·       Display of containers and link changes within history differences view.

·       Dashboard widgets can show content of given URL.

·       Resizable area for text attributes.

·       Multi-select for deletion of requirements/chapters in document tree.

·       Several webservice enhancements like:

o    Ability to use SSO user name and password in login webservice.

o    Association of RM container and CM stream.

o    Set of webservices for new workflow feature.
