View Requirement Traceability in Mindmap and Swimlane Views

Use the Traceability tab to explore how a parent requirement connects to downstream work items (child requirements, action items, test cases, and key decisions). Start from the Parent Requirements list, load a parent's children, then open the interactive visualization. Switch between Swimlane View (lane-based flow) and Mindmap View (node-and-branch view). Expand relationships tree by clicking on the + sign.
