You can enhance the Requirements Management (RM) application by authoring extensions for it. The extensions can enhance productivity and are useful for analysis. You can add the extensions to your mini dashboard and remove them as needed. Extensions are authored by using a combination of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS files. The extensions access data within the RM application by using an RM API.

This article aims to help you with enabling and uploading the widget extensions in Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next.

A lot of times I’m asked if it’s possible to export the embedded tables from the DNG artifacts and to add them in the ToT (Table of Tables) section in WORD. My answer is always YES, it’s possible. RPE as a standalone tool or RRDG used in the DNG context can export DNG tables and add them in the ToT in the generated document.

How can we do this? We have multiple options and I’ll try to cover 2 of them and highlight the pros and cons for each of them.
