Specifying design task motive
Design tasks can be created from:
• a request for change
A request for change enables expression of a comment concerning change to be made to an object.
• a requirement
A requirement is a need or expectation explicitly expressed, imposed as a constraint to be met within the context of a project. This project can be a certification project or an organizational project or an information system project.
These two object types constitute the motive of a design task.
It can be useful, from a request for change, to create and assign a design task to the person responsible for its execution.
To create a design task from its motive (here, a request for change):
1. Expand the navigation folder corresponding to the request for changes.
2. Right-click the desired request for change and select New > Design Task.
3. In the dialog box that appears, enter the name of the design task and indicate the task due date.
4. Click OK.
5. In the dialog box that appears, specify if you want to:
• create the task and assign it
• create the task and assign it later
6. Enter a comment for the design task, then click Next.
7. Select the design task assigned user if required, then click Finish.
The design task is created.
