It encompasses the following information:

You can edit and modify requirements to your discretion. Likewise, you can add new requirements or remove requirements that are not needed.

There are so-called template requirements, which you can view and import into your Evaluation Specification in a drag-and-drop fashion as needed. There are two kinds of template requirements:

  • Partner Requirements: Requirements that you expect your business partner to meet.
  • Non-functional Requirements: Requirements that you expect a product, service or methodology to meet.

The following screen shot shows a Requirement form.
