Create recursive queries

For some relationships and element types, you can set a recursion for hierarchical queries. You use this if, for example, you want to see not only the direct derivations for requirements, but also their derivations for the derivations.

Left: The query has been configured to display the derivatives of a requirement. Right: This query is configured to display derivatives recursively.

Enable recursion

• Open a hierarchical query using the Edit context menu command and click the Edit button under Element Hierarchy.
• Move the mouse over the individual elements and relationships and click on the Toggle recursion button to activate recursion.

If a recursion has been activated, a number appears behind the button indicating the level at which the main element is located. The main element is highlighted when you click on the number.

The button remains visible in the dialog and the expand arrow is removed.

Disable recursion

Click the button again to disable recursion.
