Hi,

Have you tried the menu Analysis / Links?

and that actually doesn't work for me... basically, I have a program that filters out all of the suspect links within a specific CR, and I'm trying to make a report of the suspect links so that someone without DOORS (a business analyst) can look at both sides of the suspect links on a sheet of paper and ensure that tthey aren't supposed to be suspect. So I need the ability to list a bunch of those at the same time.

You can write a DXL to scan the modules and make a big report. Its a lot easier howerver to write a far smaller Layout or AttrDXL that displays the information of the other module in this module, put it in a view, then export the view.

So you're SubSys spec can have an Attr-DXL that displays System requirement information of suspect System requirements. Display that in the SubSys with the main column, and export to Word.

I THINK I'm getting what your saying, but I'm not totally sure. What kind of DXL script would I need? I'm not looking for the script for export, as I just want a report in DOORS and then the DOORS user can export it in any way they want, or print it, or whatever. So I guess I'm just wondering what code I would use to combine and trace the link?
Thanks

I'm suggesting an Attr-DXL; presumably you use the Analysis Wizard to create a Layout script, then convert it to Attr-DXL. I've never used it, but I see the Analysis menu>>Suspect Links to create such a layout.

So in this case, I would have to create a new public view which contained the Attr-DXL, right? (Making a view "Public" will make it available in all modules, right?

Yes.

Public/Private view settings are inadequate since both only let the creater more than "R" access. After saving the view you should manage=-views load this view, then mindfully adjust the access rights; presumably add your DB and Project admin groups as RMCDA.
