Queries

Within organizations and projects, you can create new queries or customize existing ones to meet your specific needs. Queries allow you to retrieve exactly the information and data that are relevant to your work.

You can further narrow down the results list of a query using filters to display only the content you actually need. Additionally, you can export the results directly to MS Excel or MS Word to process the data further or share it.

In objectiF RPM, there are three types of queries:

• Queries – list elements of a specific type in a flat, sequential order (e.g., all requirements)
• Detailed queries – additionally display the associated elements (e.g., requirements with their corresponding test cases)
• Hierarchical queries – display dependencies and relationships between project elements across multiple levels

Queries can be created for both standard project elements (such as requirements or test cases) and user-defined artifacts.

Queries within an organization

objectiF RPM returns the following queries by default: 

• Directories with files (shows directories and files hierarchically)
• Staff members with projects (displays the projects to which an user is assigned)
• Staff pool with staff members (displays staff pools and the assigned users)
• Staff pool with project requests (shows which project requires additional users)
• Projects with costs

Queries within a project

For projects, many different query types are provided by default, via which you can send queries to:

• Activities (List activities, activities with requirements, activities with inputs and outputs, activities with costs)
• Requirements (List requirements, requirements with refinements, test cases, personas, stakeholders etc.)
• Use Cases (List use cases, use cases with other use cases, test cases, requirements, actors, activity diagrams etc.)
• Blocks (List blocks, blocks with interfaces, ports)
• Packages (Packages with requirements, referenced requirements and use cases)
• Personas (Personas with scenarios)
• Reviews (Reviewlist, Review to requirements, use caes, documents, element groups)
• Risks (List risks, risks with requirements)
• Stakeholder (Stakeholderlist, Stakeholder with requirements, goals and other stakeholders)
• Test Cases (List test cases, test cases with requirements, use cases)
• Tests ( Tests with requirements, bugs, test cases and tes set executions)
• Goals (Goal list, Goals with requirements)
