The user requirement tables are organized with the following fields:

ID: The ID provides a unique reference to the functionality that was merged into the product. The format was changed to ABC-1234 in LTS7 to directly link the numbering from the tickets used internally for development. The prior ID is maintained as a cross reference in LTS7 and will be removed in LTS8.

Requirement: A brief description that describes the user requirement.

Implemented By: The Product Spec(s) that provide the feature/functionality to support the user requirement. Features may be used individually or in combination with other features to achieve/meet the requirements. Requirements that are not supported by Product Specs will be indicated as one of:

  • NA (Not Supported): This means that the Tulip product does not support this requirement. The functionality may/may not be on the roadmap but will continually be evaluated for evolution.
  • NA (Deprecated): This is a feature that was met by the Tulip product at some point in time, but is longer offered.
  • NA (Non-Functional): Requirements that aren’t satisfied by specific features or behaviors designed within the system.
