Information requirements in Cobuilder Link are organized and grouped by Object, Group of Objects, Milestone, Purpose, and Actor. You don’t need to check if something is already requested, Cobuilder Link offers a convenient way to optimize your information needs:
Duplicate Requirement Alert: Should you inadvertently create requirements that already exist, the system will promptly alert you. It will inform you that a similar requirement is already in place.
Suggested Merge: Cobuilder Link will go a step further by suggesting the merger of these duplicated requirements. This means that the system will seamlessly combine all the newly requested properties and documents with the existing requirement.
