Report unreferenced requirements

I would like to ensure that my project does not have "orphaned" requirements. Is there a canned report that will currently produce a spreadsheet that will pull this information for me?

There are two ways you could do this with the existing reports. First, there are a few Excel-based traceability reports that you could run. Looking at these, you could see which requirements are not referenced.

There is also a Word report (the Requirements Cross Reference report) that can show you requirements that are not referenced.

Let me know if either of those would do the trick for you.

I definitely need an Excel spreedsheet for this....and I tried each of the canned traceability reports that were included.

The Use Cases and Referenced Requirements spreadsheet came the closest, but it only included the requirements that were referenced by the selected/package use cases, not any that were not referenced.  Is there another spreadsheet that you are referring to/

If you want to list all requirements where no use cases exist in Excel, you can just create a new template by pasting the following text into a cell:

$listRequirementsSortID where not UseCases Exist $ID $Name

Give that a try and see if it gives you the data you're looking for.
