[Q] DNG (DOORS Next Generation) default attribute (Name) in View
![]()
When I create views in artifacts or collections, "Name" attribute is not removable. It always displayed even I don't write any valuable information in that field. Actually I write requirements in "Primary Text". If I don't explicitly update "Name", it gets to have the exactly same contents that I typed in "Primary Text". But I cannot use "Name" to write in requirement since I cannot insert image or tables in "Name". So, for my part, "Name" is not mandatory attribute and should be removable in view configuration, which is not the way DNG work. BTW I can remove "Name" in module view. "Name" is not a mandatory attribute in module View. Looks strange for me. Why mandatory in artifacts and collections context and not in module context? I have questions here.
1) What is desirable use case of Name? Is it for the summary of Primary Text? 2) The reason, why "Name" is not removable in View of Artifacts or Collection, is because it is regarded mandatory information to identify requirement and deserve being carefully managed by users? 3) Then why is it removable in View of Module? I know this might be tricky questions. I just want to understand behind principles of DNG use cases. |

1) The Name attribute Is it for the summary of Primary Text or short description of the artifact.
2. The reason, why "Name" is not removable in View of Artifacts or Collection, is because it is regarded mandatory information per my test. 3. The Name attribute is removable in View of Module because it is not mandatory information for these artifact types |
