  3. Click the Add New Requirement icon (Add new requirement) to display the new requirement work item form.
  4. In the Summary field, type a statement that clearly summarizes the meaning of the requirement.
  5. In the Details section, assign an owner for the requirement, select a severity level, and optionally, add one or several tags.
    Note: You can assign tags to requirements and then use those tags as input to queries.
  6. In the Description field, describe the requirement in as much detail as necessary.
  7. To notify others about the requirement, click Links and add other users as subscribers.
    Note: The subscribers will be notified whenever there is a change to the requirement.
  8. Click Approvals to set up an approval process for the requirement.
  9. Click Save.
The new requirement displays at the bottom of the Requirements section.
