Manage Requirements

2 min read

Use the project Requirements page to review, organize, and update requirements as work changes.

Search And Filter

Section titled “Search And Filter”

The Requirements page supports search and filters so you can narrow the list.

You can filter by:

  • Type
  • Status
  • Creation Date
  • Labels
  • Requirement custom fields with dropdown-style values

Use Clear All to remove active filters and return to the full list.

Sort Requirements

Section titled “Sort Requirements”

You can sort requirements by:

  • Title
  • Type
  • Status
  • Created On

The table also supports sorting directly from the Name and Created On column headers.

Choose Visible Columns

Section titled “Choose Visible Columns”

Use the column control in the Requirements page header to choose which columns appear in the table.

The Name column is always visible. Other columns can be shown or hidden based on how your team reviews requirements.

Review Usage

Section titled “Review Usage”

The Testcases column shows whether a requirement is used by linked test cases, releases, or testruns.

Requirements with no usage show No usages, which helps teams find requirements that may still need test coverage.

Open Requirement Details

Section titled “Open Requirement Details”

Select a requirement row to open its details view.

The details view shows:

  • Title and description
  • Type and status
  • Labels
  • Custom fields
  • Created by and created on information
  • Linked test cases
  • Releases and testruns
  • Directly linked defects
  • Defects linked through test cases

Edit A Requirement

Section titled “Edit A Requirement”

To edit a requirement:

  1. Open the requirement.
  2. Click Edit Requirement.
  3. Update the fields you need.
  4. Click Save Changes.

You can update:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Type
  • Status
  • Labels
  • Active custom fields
  • Linked test cases

When editing, use Add / Update Testcase to change linked test cases. The Releases & Testruns and Defects tabs are review-only while editing.

Quick Type And Status Updates

Section titled “Quick Type And Status Updates”

Users with edit access can update Type and Status directly from the Requirements table.

Select the current type or status in the row, choose a new value, and Hawzu updates the requirement.

Pagination

Section titled “Pagination”

Use pagination at the bottom of the Requirements page to move through larger requirement lists. You can also change how many requirements are shown per page.

Permissions

Section titled “Permissions”

Managing requirements depends on your project access. Users need update access to edit requirements, change type or status, update linked test cases, or change labels.
