How You Update a Requirements Specification Using the Oracle ADF Desktop Integration Tool

Here's how you can update a requirements specification in an Excel spreadsheet using the Oracle ADF Desktop Integration tool.

Before you start

Download and install the ADFdi Excel client to exchange data directly between Microsoft Excel and Innovation Management.

To begin the process of exporting the details of a requirement specification through an Excel spreadsheet:

1. In the Edit Requirements Specification page, select the Table view.
2. Click the Edit in Spreadsheet icon in the table view of the Edit Requirements Specification page.
   Note: To open the Excel file, sign in with your Innovation Management credentials. If you've signed in earlier into an Excel sheet and not signed out, then you're not prompted for your credentials when you open a new Excel sheet.
3. You can now update requirement data in the spreadsheet.
4. After making the changes in the spreadsheet, click the Upload button. The cells that are successfully updated display their status in the Status column.

Note:

• New rows must be inserted between the first and last row of the table. After the upload, the new row is inserted as the last row in the table. You can select and move the new row to the desired location.
• There shouldn't be any empty rows in the data between the first and last rows of the exported data. If you miss out on adding any details before uploading the data, an error message is displayed in the Status Viewer section of the spreadsheet.
