Requirements & Systems Portal has always prided itself in the fact that it reduces the need to manage documentation by housing and connecting the engineering data which typically resides in different document types belonging to different software tools. However, many of users still need to generate documentation for activities such as certification and change control, which should be done quickly with no more than a few clicks.
The Verification & Validation Module includes a self-contained wizard that allows to export a document based on the selected context and template directly from the Module. The Document Export functionality allows you to quickly export verification and validation data into an editable *.docx
file based on the selected template. You can quickly export all or selected activities, as shown below.
