Introduction

Implement links are used to connect objects from the four RFLP tree categories (Requirement, Functional, Logical, Physical).

An implement link:

• Identifies the purpose of the implementing object
• Defines the context to be loaded when opening with completion an object (in case of a reference-reference implement link)
• Implement Links Display
• Context and Subcontext Definition
• Implement Links Between Objects
• Implement Links List
• Implement Links: Display in the 2D Graph

 Implement Links Display

Implements links are displayed in the tree (in the implementing object node) and in the work area (on both implemented and implementing objects).

Tips: In the tree, click the implement link to highlight the implementing and implementing objects. In the work area, click the icon to display the implementing or implemented object.

In the tree, if the corresponding options are selected, the implement relations are stored in these folders:

• Implement Relations: The two entities pointed by the implement relation are present in session.
• Partially Loaded Implement Relations: At least one entity pointed by the implement relation is not present in session (but both extremities exist).
• Broken Implement Relations: At least one entity pointed by the implement relation no longer exists.

 Context and Subcontext Definition

Between two references, links can be defined in the context or subcontext of the selected references.

 Implement Links Between Objects

Between two categories, whatever element you first select when creating an implement link, the implement relation is always created from the lower level abstract category to the higher level abstract category.

In other words:

• A physical product implements a function, a logical component or a requirement.
• A logical component implements a function or a requirement.
• A function implements a requirement.

 Implemented Requirements

You can create an implement link between the following elements:

Implemented Functional Objects

You can create an implement link between the following elements:

Implements Link List

To list implement relations on an object, you can use:

• The RFLP Linked Objects panel 
• The Traceability Matrix 
• B.I. Essentials 

Traceability Matrix 

The Traceability Matrix displays the implement relations existing between two structures. You can create, edit or delete implement relations between these two structures in this editor.

You can display implement relations between objects from the following categories:

• Requirement and Functional/Logical/Physical
• Functional and Requirement/Logical/Physical
• Logical and Requirement/Functional/Physical
• Physical and Requirement/Functional/Logical

The occurrence-occurrence links created in subcontext are visible in Traceability Matrix.

BI Essentials

You can use B.I. Essentials to reveal attributes of the objects in your session. Color codes corresponding to the different values of an attribute are applied to the objects. B.I. Essentials specific to Functional & Logical Design enables you to display information on functional and logical objects.
