🚀 New! We've polished the user interface of R4J

Expect great new usability and design updates applied on Augst 27th and Augst 28th, 2024

🚀 Page navigation improved

  • Say goodbye to the old sidebar page navigation. Introducing the new navigation bar! Now, page navigation has been made easier for you.

  • Easily navigate to different pages within easeRequirements with just a few clicks.

  • We've combined Coverage & Traceability, and Baseline & All Baselines pages into a dropdown selection. Simply select the page option you wish to navigate to.

🚀 Introducing the new All Baselines page

  • Now you can view all baselines from different projects where you are also part of.

  • Easily view their details and compare them with other baselines the same way as the Baseline page.

🚀 Issue Detail View table sections are easier to navigate

  • We've updated the look and feel for each section in the detail view.

  • We've replaced the pagination for the tables in 1easeRequirements Child Issues, 2Jira Child Issues, & 3Linked Issues with new `Show more` button to load all the data of the section.
