DNG Module filter ancestors descendants
Artefacts are in a hierarchy in a DNG module so it would be useful to be able to set a filter and choose to show or hide ancestors and/or descendants.
Ancestors example: show all the 'high priority' requirements AND show the heading structure to give the results context.
Descendants example: show heading 4 AND show everything under heading 4 but nothing else - i.e. show section 4 of the module only.
Are these possible?
If not can some one post the link for submitting product RFEs for DNG?
One answer
In a module in the rich client, you can modify the column settings, filter the artifacts, and save your settings as a view. The columns display the attribute values in the artifacts. You can filter by artifact type, artifact tags, attribute values, and link types.

- Click Save. The view that you saved is displayed in the View list.
- To return to the unfiltered view, from the View list, select Standard View.
