Exporting Requirements

Introduction

QMetry allows its users to export selected/all requirements out of QMetry in XLSX and CSV file format in a single click. Users can save the file on to the computer drive. Users with a User Role that has “Export” rights assigned for the Requirement module can export requirements. Role based user access control for the module is managed under Customization > Roles. If the role assigned to the user does not have rights to export requirements, the  Export option will appear in the disabled mode for that user.

Why would you export requirements from QMetry?

Bulk requirements for a particular project are being maintained in QMetry. A change request comes from the customer, which requires corresponding modifications in multiple requirements. QA Manager decides to update requirements in Excel file. So the team exports the requirements to Excel, makes required changes in the file and imports that excel file back into QMetry through the Requirement module.

Steps

1. Go to the Requirement module.

2. Select the folder on the tree.

3. The content on grid pane at right depends on the folder that you select on the tree. The grid pane at right displays requirement records for the folder.

You can apply Filter criteria to requirement records to export only preferred requirements.

4. Click on the cog icon  at the top right corner on the toolbar and select Export.



The next screen opens.

Once you are done with selecting requirements, click on the Next button.
