How to define a new Requirement Type

Overview

Requirements are the foundation of any organization. Therefore, defining them correctly and documenting them properly is essential. When you add a requirement in TopTeam repository, it needs to be of a certain Requirement Type.

TopTeam ships with a number of default Requirement Types such as Business Requirements, Product Requirements, Business Rules, etc. However, if you need to use specific Requirement Types that are not available in the repository by default, you can create your own custom Requirement Types and add them to Requirement Documents.
