Create command

Commands are instructions created for the theme bar that allow you to create new elements of a specific type or apply a specific template with a single click. You specify which elements or queries are created via the theme bar and where they are saved in the configuration settings for each command.

You can create commands for queries, themes, and within a template.

Create command for topic bar

1. Open the theme bar from the vertical toolbar by clicking the Show Topics icon.
2. Click on the window background or on a theme, and select Edit from the context menu.

3. Select the topic that should offer the command in the future and click the Add Command button.

4. In the following dialog configure the command, name the command, specify where the element is to be stored and select which element type (requirement, test case etc.) is to be created.

5. Then click OK.

Now you can create bugs via the topic bar.

Create command for query

If you want to add additional elements to queries with a single click, create a command for that purpose. Once a command has been created for the query, a plus button will appear in the upper-right corner of the query, which displays the configured commands.

1. Open the Explorer window and choose Edit from the context menu of a query.

2. In the following dialog, switch to the Commands & patterns tab.
3. Click the plus button next to Configured commands.
4. Name the command as you want it to appear later.
5. Specify a package or directory as the context and use the dropdown menu to select what should be created. The context you set determines what can be created.

The context of the query and the command do not have to be identical. If you want new elements to be created elsewhere, you can also specify a different package.

6. Then click OK.

The command is displayed in the upper right corner of the query – indicated by a plus sign. Click on the plus sign to create further elements.

2. Click in the background of the window or on a topic, and select Edit from the context menu.

3. Select the topic that will offer the command in the future and click the Add Pattern.

4. In the next dialog configure the command, name the command, specify the element on which the pattern is to be executed and select the pattern you want to offer for the context element from the drop-down menu.
