Programs

Violet Programs enable granular permissions to Violet Requirements and other features.

Create a New Program

To create a new program, navigate to Tools → Programs and click +Program:

Alternatively, new programs can be created directly from the Violet Requirements page. In the dropdown menu at the top of the screen, select Create New:

In the New Program window, enter a program Name and Description (optional).

Assign Program Managers and Team Members

Assign one or more users as Program Managers, which grants them administrator-level permissions to manage the program, as well as edit access to any requirements within the program.

Next, assign users or groups as Team Members. Team members have read access to the program. They will be able to view all details about the program as well as all requirements within the program. The "All Users" group consists of all users internal to your organization's Violet instance.

See Invite your team for guidance on setting up user groups.

Adding Guest Users to your Program to Review Requirements

Violet makes it easy to collaborate with external customers and partners. We recommend creating a dedicated user group for any external Violet users who require read-access to the program, then add that external group as a team member for the appropriate program(s). These guest users can review Violet requirements and add comments, but can't see other Violet platform data.

Create System Elements and Custom Requirement Fields

Finally, you can define Systems and Custom Fields for the requirements in a program.

Assigning users or groups to System elements grants them edit access to the requirements within that system; these users are the designated requirement owners.

Systems can also be used to filter, sort, visualize and track progress of Violet Requirements - read more here.

Hide Inactive Programs

Toggle the Active button to mark a program as inactive. This feature hides the program from the requirements drop down list.

If you still wish to view requirements from an inactive program, use the Show Inactive Programs toggle in the requirements pulldown menu.
