Document View - MVP Version

Introduction

The Document View is a feature that seeks to streamline the requirement writing experience for teams who are accustomed to start writing requirements in a word processor program, eliminating the need for the extra step of importing those requirements into Valispace to be able to start working on them as a team. It offers a more flexible and word processor-like approach to managing and interacting with requirements within a Specification, Section, or Folder. This view improves the reading experience and allows you to make edits to select fields, making your requirement management more efficient and user-friendly before engaging with the full table view.

This user documentation will guide you through accessing and utilizing the Documentation View, outlining its key features and functionality.

This version is released as an MVP version, and further improvements will be added to this feature. If you find this feature interesting and would like to provide suggestions/feedback, please feel free to let us know at support@valispace.com
