Scope of specification manager

[tep]

Hi everybody,

I just started with EA and I have bumped into the following problem:
I added a custom tagged value to my requirements. Now I am looking for a convenient way to display all of my requirements together with
1) their status  and
2) my custom tagged value.
The specification manager basically provides what I need, however, I can not see all of my requirements simultaneously. Instead, I can only see the requirements of one package.

I've been googling for some time now to solve this problem, but could not come up with a solution. Is there a way to either configure the specification manager in such a way that it displays all the packages at the same time. Or is there any other window / view etc. that provides what I need?

It should be a table or similar output that looks like this:
requirement name  |  requirement status  | requirement custom tagged value
REQ001                |  Proposed               | foo
REQ002                |  Approved               | bar
REQ003                |  Proposed               | foo

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!

AFAIK there is unfortunately no feature to do such things, expect doing an sql select.
However there is the RaQuest plugin providing such a feature (not sure if you can edit tags).

I am also new to EA but you might play around with the Specification Manager using the Search Category drop-down "Common Searches" and Search drop-down "Extended" with your Custom Tag Value input into the Search Term field. I have been able to at least get my custom tags to show up in the list of results (not displaying a column for the custom tag, just the requirement containing the custom tag) but maybe you could sort, filter, or group the results in a way that will give you something visible to use.

I'm pretty sure you could also get what you need by using Document Generation "Element Filters" if you want to report out the results of your search but there's a lot to learn here.

Thanks for your replies!
Meanwhile I found the following method that does what I need:
1) Right click on a package and select "View as list"
2) In the list:
    - "Show Nested Package Content"
    - "Show Element Hierarchy"
    - Righ click on top of the list and select "Add tag value column"

This gives me an overall view of all requirements of the package sorted according to their hierarchy and including all my custom tagged values that I want. Everything in one view!

If that works for you, fine!

But keep in might that this is more to view/look on things rather than specifying things.
