Import and Integrate Requirements
Integrate Requirements Toolbox™ with third-party requirements management tools by importing requirements or by using a command-line OSLC client.
You can import requirements from external applications such as Microsoft® Word, Microsoft Excel®, IBM® DOORS®, and IBM DOORS Next. You can also import requirements from ReqIF™ files. Migrate requirements to Requirements Toolbox or continue to manage the requirements in the third-party tool and update the imported requirements when you make changes in the third-party tool.

Featured Examples
Import and Edit Requirements from a Microsoft Word Document
Import and update requirements from a Microsoft® Word requirements document. After you import the requirements, you can modify the requirements in either the Requirements Editor or the Word document. This functionality is available only on Microsoft Windows® platforms. Simulink® Online™ does not support importing requirements from Microsoft Word documents.
Working with IBM DOORS Requirements
Import, link, update, and set a requirements baseline for a control system with requirements in IBM DOORS.
Import Requirements from IBM DOORS by Using the API
Import requirements authored in IBM DOORS by using the Requirements Toolbox API.
Import Requirements from a Microsoft Excel Document
Use a callback to map requirement types and hierarchy from Microsoft Excel to imported requirements.
