working principle of Doors input link : triangle empty/full / parenthesis vs no parenthesis

  • 1.  working principle of Doors input link : triangle empty/full / parenthesis vs no parenthesis

    Posted Thu December 10, 2020 08:45 AM

    Hello,

    What is the rule for Doors 9.3 when displaying input link (yellow triangle) :

    sometimes the triangle is a yellow empty triangle, sometimes the triangle is a yellow full triangle.

    also, when the upstream module is a baseline upstream module, I notice that input links of the current module are alos visible. There are parenthesis in the text of the link and sometimes no parenthesis.

    I don't know what mean the empty/full triangle, and what mean the parenthesis and no parenthesis.

    and why when opening a baseline of the upstream module I can see incoming link of the current instead of only incomming links of the baseline.

    Full yellow triangle is an incoming link from a module current version

    Empty yellow triangle is called an echo link - it is an incoming link in a baseline

    If there are parenthesis [], that means the target of that link is in a baseline.

    If there is no parenthesis, it means that the target of that link is in a current version

    Hope that helps

    thanks for your answer but for the second part I think we don't speak about the same subject :

    "

    If there are parenthesis [], that means the target of that link is in a baseline.

    If there is no parenthesis, it means that the target of that link is in a current version

    "

    I agree if you are talking about the "[<baseline_name>]" that indicates if it is a current or the baseline. But what I'm talking about is :

    right click on the red/yellow triangle then click on "name of module with or without[]" then we have the list of requirement :

    abs_number: "start of requirement text"

    And this list of requirement can have parenthesis "(" ")" this way :

    (abs_number: "start of requirement text")

    and sometimes no parenthesis.

    I guess it is linked with the fact that link targets a baseline or not, but I'm not sure. and I don't find a rules to define them that works in all case.

    any idea ?
