An Excel like table view for requirements overview

[nowittyusername]

Hello,

I have been messing about with StrictDoc for a while, but it seems it doesn't support any kind of overview of the requirements that you have written into it?

I have created a "master.sdoc" file that outlines project objectives, followed by system.sdoc detailing functional requirements, and then files outlining subsystem performance requirements. As you can imagine, after adding all of the statements, statuses, links and rationales, the document gets quite long, and you start losing the overview of what you have exactly written.

Thus, I was wondering if StrictDoc supports a minimised overview page displaying all the requirements? Here's an example of what I mean

If no such feature is present, an option to "collapse" a requirement node would be extremely helpful. For example, the minimised node would show its UID, statement and any child links.

Thank you for the tool!

Hi @nowittyusername,

The Table screen is the closest we implemented so far but this screen never received enough further development until now.

As you can imagine, after adding all of the statements, statuses, links and rationales, the document gets quite long, and you start losing the overview of what you have exactly written.

For larger documents, you probably want to group your numerous requirements into sections. Also, extracting/modularizing your documents into including/included documents could be useful: https://strictdoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?a=UG_COMPOSABLE_DOCUMENTS.

Anything can be implemented once there is a good consistent specification of the UI layout and behavior.

Thanks, the table screen seems to be kind of what I am after. I tried adding it to my project, but I don't see any extra button anywhere. 😅
How would one access it?

project_features=[
            "HTML2PDF",
            "PROJECT_STATISTICS_SCREEN",
            "SEARCH",
            "DIFF",
            "TRACEABILITY_MATRIX_SCREEN",
            "TABLE_SCREEN"
        ],

I also tried enabling every feature, but this seems to be broken, as no buttons on the sidebar appeared after compiling my project with it.

project_features=[
            "ALL_FEATURES"
        ],

In any case, I tried a quick ctrl + F on the user guide but couldn't find any mention of the table screen. Does the table screen allow you to specify which columns, fields you want to display? Or, as I understand from your reply, it was created and then there was no further development of it?

Did you see this menu?

[nowittyusername]

Yes, that worked!

Thanks, I didn't realise you could click on that
