Since release 3.0 selected project data (e.g. requirements, issues) can be edited by means of the forms editor in ARCWAY Cockpit. By means of the forms editor multiple project data can be viewed and edited at the same time.
To edit the properties of project data in the forms editor you have to switch it to editmode first. Now, you can enter the desired values in the input fields. To finish editing the properties reset the editor into viewmode. In order to accept your changes you have to save the content of the editor first. (Tell me more about saving changes..).
In some forms editors links between project data can be displayed, created and removed, too. For this, different options are available.
Within the multiple choice all project data is displayed to which a link can be created. By setting respectively removing the checkmarks the links are created respectively deleted.
The tree works similar to the multiple choice. Here, the project data is displayed hierarchically though. By setting respectively removing the checkmarks the links are created respectively deleted.
You can also create the links via drag'n'drop. For this, drag the desired project data from the respective view into the field of the editor. To delete the link click on the "minus" icon behind the name of the project data. Please note that you can possibly drag only project data of a specific type (e.g. requirement) to the field. Normally, there is a description of the required type above the input field. When you hold the mouse pointer over the linked data, the tooltip shows you where the data is stored (e.g. in which requirement set you can find the linked requirement).
Apart from few exceptions erroneous inputs are immediately displayed in the forms editor. In case of an error the modified properties cannot be saved. To support you in troubleshooting the editor displays the following information:
behind the missing or erroneous property of the project data.
When you hold the mouse pointer over the linked data a description
of the error appears.
You can save your changes as follows:
