Adding Nodes

Prior to Adding a Node

Prior to adding a node, there must be an existing project and release that has been created in Zephyr Enterprise. The project/release must be selected and the user must be under the Requirements section within the release selected. 

Scenario: You are a testing manager in Zephyr Enterprise. As a testing manager, you want to add a new requirement to Release 1.0 in project Mercury.

If this is your first time managing requirements, you might want to work within a test project rather than an actual project in the system, and that way, you can work out any issues you might have with managing requirements before you work with live requirements.


1. Click on the  button on the folder that you want to create a node/folder for.

2. Click on the "Add" button at the top of the list.

3. Fill in the mandatory fields for creating a node/folder:

  • Name is a mandatory field while Description is an optional field
  • Name - The name of the node/folder
  • Description - A body of text describing the node/folder


4. After filling in the fields, click on the "Create" Button to finalize any changes and create the node/folder.
