PACE Word Interface Offline

No matter what tool you use when capturing requirements from a word document the capture is only as good as the document format. If the document is not in a consistent format its impossible for an automated tool to capture what you want in a consistent way. So the last thing i want to do is to capture a bunch of stuff into the database and then go back and clean it up. This just adds lots of requirements to the database that don’t need to be there yet.
So with the PACE Word Interface there is a way to work off line to reduce the amount of rework that happens in the tool itself.
To get it to work in the off line mode you first have to connect to the database with the document that you want to work with. Set your options for project, folder, attribute mapping and how you want to capture. Then capture one item manually. All you have to do now is disconnect for the database and you can auto capture off line. This allows you to review the capture and correct any thing before you commit the data to the database.
Its also a lot faster in this mode and you can upload it when you have time knowing that its all the right data. Just a requirements management tip from Mr. REQID
