Description of the additional features
Feature 1. Requirement category
Needs, features, and specifications are the levels of detail classification, abstraction level classification, which is one of the requirement classifications. Regarding this classification, following requests had been heard:
- "Specification needs to be treated as Enterprise Architect Use Case element"
- "Enterprise Architect's features are needed to be used"
- "Classification needs to be differentiated by icon"
To meet these requests, we have introduced a concept of "Requirement Category" to version 4.0.

Feature 2. Attribute filtering feature of requirements in matrix
Matrix view is useful to check the coverage. To make it more useful, along with the package filtering, the attribute filtering is introduced to filter the requirements by attribute.
