ReqIF Export and Import in Project Tree
Overview
DATA CENTER ONLY
easeRequirements for Jira allows you to export Jira issues into the standardized ReqIF 1.2 file format and also import ReqIF files from other sources.
A mapping is required in order to import and export ReqIF files in the easeRequirements Project Tree View.
ReqIF capabilities are available from easeRequirements Standard Datacenter version 5.4 or higher. Starting with this version, the dark feature key for the ReqIF feature will no longer function, and an easeRequirements Ultimate license is required to continue using it.
