How to configure path setting for generating requirements traceability report?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to generate a requirements traceability report using the toolbox Simulink Requirements based on MATLAB R2018a. After generation, the report is always placed under the current folder. However, I want to store the generated report under a pre-defined folder instead.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Best regards,

Hi Xiaojie,

Unfortunately, R2018a does not support remembering the predefined path. Remembering the report path during MATLAB sesssion was introduced since R2019a.

As a workaround, you can try to use the custom facing APIs to see whether it will satisfy your needs:

slreq.generateReport

For example:

% get the requirement set:
% you also can use loadeReqSet = slreq.find('Type', 'ReqSet', 'Name',
% 'ReqSetName') to get it if it is loaded already. 
loadedReqSet = slreq.load(filepathOrNameOfSavedReqSet);
% get the default options for report.  
reqOptions = slreq.getReportOptions;
reqOptions.reportPath = fullfile(yourPredefinedPath, [reqSetName, '.docx']);
% generate report.
slreq.generateReport(loadedReqSet, reqOptions);

You can create a shortcut to call this script to generate report without reinvoking the report option dialog every time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
