Linking tasks to requirements in TopTeam

You can add links between issues/tasks and requirement records. This can be done using two methods.

This article describes:

• How to create tasks/issues for a requirement record.
• How to link existing tasks/issues to a requirement record.

The first option will let you create a new issue/task and the link will be created automatically between the newly created issue/task and the requirement record.
The second option lets you add a link between the existing issue/task and a requirement record.

You can link tasks to requirements using both TopTeam Desktop App and TopTeam Web.

• TopTeam Users

• Tasks or Issues record types must be included in your project that you are working on. Refer to the article How to add a Record Type to a Project.

• You must have required permissions to create Tracking Item/issues record types such as Tasks, Issues, etc. in your project.

1. Log into TopTeam Web. Refer to the article Logging into TopTeam Web.
2. After logging in open Repository Explorer either from the main menu or link on the home page.

NOTE: From the Issues tab it is possible to create new items such as Change Request, Task, Issue, etc. using the New… button.

To open Repository Explorer, you can use any one of these methods:

1. From Home screen, click Go to Repository Explorer
2. Go to TopTeam main menu > Repository > Repository Explorer
3. Open How do I?  (located in the top right corner of the application) and type repository explorer

The above step provides two ways to link a record:

1. Link an existing issue/task.
2. Create a new issue/task and then link it. For this, a window will open in which you can add Title and other details (optional) and save it. A new issue/task will be created and a link will be created with the selected requirement.
