): indicates that a requirement is
not cross-referenced with any other requirements. The Requirements tab for an authoritative document is where you can select the requirement whose cross-references with other requirements you want to create, edit, or remove.
There are three edit buttons which are also used to indicate cross-references. When clicked, these will open the section to create, edit, and remove cross-references:
•No
cross-references (): indicates that a requirement is
not cross-referenced with any other requirements.
•Cross-referenced requirement (): indicates that a requirement is
cross-referenced with one or more requirements from other authoritative
documents.
•Cross-referenced child requirements (): indicates that there are
cross-references for the child requirements under the main parent requirement.
However, the parent requirement itself is not cross-referenced with any other
requirements.
It is important to note that the system will only create cross-references in the direction in which they are registered. For example, if a cross-reference is created from "Authoritative Document 1" to "Authoritative Document 2", the reverse of this association will not be automatically registered ("Authoritative Document 2" -> "Authoritative Document 1"). This factor is important to keep in mind when creating queries to view cross-references between documents, as only one-way results will be displayed. To avoid confusion, it may be helpful to register an opposite mapping for each cross-reference created.
