Files

Users can upload files to link to requirements. These may be:

  • Existing diagrams
  • Existing documents not easily converted into requirements
  • Images/videos as reference
  • Supporting evidence for requirements
  • Test results and reports
  • Specification documents

File Management

Organizing Files

Requify provides several ways to organize your files:

  • Folders: Create a hierarchical structure for your files
  • Tags: Add searchable tags to categorize files
  • Links: Create many-to-many connections between files and requirements/incidents

Create a Folder

  1. Go to the Files section
  2. Click "New Folder"
  3. Name your folder and click "Create"

Searching for Files

Find files quickly using:

  • Search Bar: Full-text search across file names and content
  • Filters: Filter by file type, upload date, size, or custom metadata
  • Advanced Search: Combine multiple criteria for precise results

Linking Files to Requirements

Files become most valuable when linked to specific requirements. This allows a file to be uploaded once but linked to multiple requirements or incidents.

For example, a video walkthrough of a product shows multiple errors. Multiple incidents would be created, but can all be linked to the same video file of the reproduction.
