The Field Options configured for this custom field are essentially labels organized in a hierarchical format as shown below.
Multiple Perspectives
...
- System Hierarchy
- Spec Classification
User Views
A user can
- Enable only the perspective relevant to him / her, while there may be many perspectives defined in the system.
- Select the labels (using filter functionality) to narrow down the list of relevant Requirements. For example, a developer may be interested only in the Specifications of a specific Component.
Limitations of Hierarchical View
- This mechanism may not be suitable, when the hierarchy is very large, say of the order of 1000's
- Since the options are defined by Administrator and cannot be dynamically created by end user; this solution will work only when the updates to the hierarchy are not very frequent.
- It may not be possible to restrict the permissions for a subset of requirements.
