Import and Exports Trees or Parts of Trees

Import /Export Whole Trees or Parts of Trees

This feature allows you to import and export whole trees or parts of trees which make up your functional model of your software. This is useful when you have:

counted similar functionality in another application and you want to copy it over to this Release count to avoid re-typing
made a generic list of assumptions in another count and you want to have access to them in this count
added in functionality in a previous Release but removed it as part of a de-scoping activity and you want to put it back in again
created a generic attribute list and you want the common set of attributes applied to all your counts
had several different counters counting the same application and you want to merge their counts into a single functional hierarchy and data list

Export a Whole Tree or Part of a Tree

Locate your cursor on the branch to be exported and select Export Tree from under the Edit menu. SCOPE will prompt you with the XML file name where your exported branch will be saved.

Import a Whole Tree or Part of a Tree

Locate your cursor on the branch where you want the imported nodes to be pasted and select Import Tree from under Edit/Import on the main menu. SCOPE will prompt to check if you want to import Count Session Impacts and / or links to other Trees.

If the nodes you are importing have been impacted by a Count Session then you will be prompted to select to import a Count Session. In this case, SCOPE will add that Count Session to the List of Sessions for the current target Release.
