Create a list

In Text Models lists are used for presenting a type (like risks) of a project's text files. Having already created a risk template, we can continue making a list of risks, essentially producing a Risk Analysis document. Having each risk as a file gives the advantage that it can be reused in other lists (e.g. if a special SW Risk Analysis list is needed).

Right-click the project file in the Contents pane and select New > List. Name the list Risk Analysis.

Create a folder for risks

To keep the project organized, let's create a folder for the risks files. Right-click the project file in the Contents pane and select New > Folder. Name the folder Risks.

Configure the list

Double-click the Risk Analysis file in the Contents pane. This will open the list in a new pane. Select the Configure List button in the Risk Analysis pane.

The Configure List dialog has options for specifying the location for the files (risks) in the list, and for choosing a template. Select the first browse button to select the file location.

Select the Risks folder as location for the risk files. Select OK to close the dialog.

Select the second browse button to select the template file.

Select the Risk template file in the Templates folder. Select OK to close the dialog.

Select Next to continue.

The list can present the attributes of the template as configured by the user. For the Risk Analysis list, we'll include all of the attributes. Name.

Add a column for each attribute and use the attribute name as column header. For the first column Title place the cursor in the Cell Value ComboBox and add [{FileName}]. This will include the unique file name to the title attribute. Select OK to close the dialog.

Having configured the list, buttons for adding, deleting, inserting and reordering rows are visible.

Select the Add Row button in the Risk Analysis pane and a risk will be added to the list.

As mitigation for the risk, we need a requirement. Add a Requirements folder to the project, and add a Text File to the folder (right-click New > Text File). Name the file Requirement.

Double-click the Requirement text file in the Contents pane. This will open the file in a new pane. Add a Label/Body paragraph and write Description in the header, and The system shall have a battery backup power supply. in the body. Save the file.
