Constraint Status Types

In an element 'Properties' definition, each constraint's status in the development process is defined in the constraint 'Status' field. You can select the appropriate value from a drop-down list, which initially contains the system values:

  • Implemented
  • Build
  • Validated
  • Approved
  • Mandatory and
  • Proposed

You can add to or replace any of these values with your own custom values.

Sort Alphabetically

Reorganize the entries in the Type list into alphabetical order.

Restore Defaults

Remove all customized constraint status values and restore the system defaults.
