Look at examples

• Look at the jUCMNav requirements to get an idea of how requirements can be managed with Twiki.
• Click on one of the requirements in column "Name".
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and view the raw text for the requirement you have selected.
  • Go back to the page of the requirement.
  • Click on "Form For Req" and view the raw text for the form.
  • Go back to the list of requirements.
• View the raw text of the page with the list of requirements.
  • Look at the form tag at the top of the file in order to understand what it does.
  • Look at the SEARCH command near the top of the file in order to understand what it does.
  • Go back to the list of requirements.
• Click on requirement ReqActionUndoOne.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Referrers to this page". This will show you all the pages that link to this page.

Create your own form

• Go to your lab page.
• Create a TWiki page called FormYourFirstNameYourLastName
• Create a form that captures the following details of a requirement: name, description, type, importance, priority, status, and stakeholders. You may use "Form For Req" as a starting point.
• Your requirements pages should start with LabReqYourUottawaAccount (e.g. LabReqGmuss019).

Create your own "Create" button to add requirements

• Go to your lab page.
• Add a Create button. You may use jUCMNav requirements as a starting point.
• Enter a few requirements.

Create your own queries

• Go to your lab page.
• Add a SEARCH which shows all requirements starting with LabReqYourUottawaAccount (you may use jUCMNav requirements as a starting point).
• The SEARCH must display all requirements details.
• Once you have done this, also try searching for all requirements starting with LabReq. This should show you not just your requirements but all requirements entered during this lab.
