Links between domain elements and requirements

A link is a connection between a requirement and a domain element in the Navigator, Project Explorer, or Package Explorer view. Each domain contains domain elements that are linkable.

When you associate a domain element with a requirement, you create a link between the artifacts if they are configured for direct associations. For indirect associations, the domain element is linked to a proxy requirement and the requirement is traced to the proxy. With direct associations, a domain element is linked to one requirement only. With indirect associations, a domain element is linked to one proxy requirement only; however, multiple requirements can be traced to or from that proxy.

Links are represented by a link arrow on the icons for the domain element and the requirement or proxy requirement.

You can right-click an artifact with a link to select (or view) its linked artifact elsewhere in the workspace and navigate from one view to another.
