How do I add a new "Release"?

Are you looking to add one or more "Releases" to your Accompa account so that you can enter and track requirements on a release-by-release basis? Here is how to achieve this.

1. Create a custom field of the type "Picklist".
   • Use "Release" as the "Label" for this field.
   • Enter different releases (Release-1, Release-2, etc) as "Values" for this picklist field.
2. When adding a new requirement (or editing existing requirements) - "Release" field will now appear in the form. Choose desired release for each requirement.
3. Create a new "SmartView" and in "Filter Criteria" section define appropriate criteria for "Release" field (Example: Release equals "Release-1"). This SmartView will now display all requirements that correspond to that release.
