Introducing Scope Admin properties

Introduction

Scope Admin properties can be defined quite simply as the characteristics of a given Scope element (requirement, term, goal or business rule). Each requirement property can be assigned either a default value or a value defined by you.

Scope Admin properties are organized into property sets, which group properties of a similar nature or concerning the same domain. A certain number of standard property sets are delivered with Objecteering Scope Admin (see below).

You can also create your own property sets or use property sets which you have imported into your project. For more information on creating property sets, please see "Defining property sets and properties". For information on internalizing properties, please see "Exchanging Scope Admin properties".
