How to 1: Create company specific requirements (Formel Q)
The Analysis Tools supports the creation of company specific requirements and downgrading rules. It is not possible though to add additional questions.
The company specific requirements is the last option in the product development menu VDA Analysis Tools - Company specific requirements.
This site splits in two sections the company specific requirements and the additional downgrading rules. The here defined company specific requirements in turn will be applicable on all reports without any additional change. It is so only possible to have only one set of company specific requirements. The downgrading rules will be imported into the report once they are activated in the results section. Any change on them has to be loaded by turning them of and on again which means that the values are lost.
